New School Superintendent in MoCo- any chance we'll see drastic changes in the short or long-term?

I'm not thrilled about the schools is our neighborhood or how school boundary lines are drawn. I would love for something to magically change (give me the option to send my children to better schools; bring a little more quality downcounty, etc.). Will the Superintendent search committee (or whomever is charged with finding our new superintendent) be looking for someone with bold new ideas who is comfortable with drastic changes, or are they looking instead for someone who plans to just keep things steady-as-they-go and not rock the boat at all? Anyone have insight????

I think the latter is much more likely given all the praise the old superintendent has gotten from so many places. Those of us in the downcounty area I think are just screwed - I don't realistically think they will change much to improve the concentrations of higher needs children in these areas, which is the fundamental challenge for schools in the eastern portion of the county since that would mean mixing more w/ the rich/highly white schools in the lower western portion and I just don't see that going anywhere.
