New Instructional Superintendent

I wonder if he was the impetus behind changing the admissions requirements at SWW.

We had a great conversation. I also read some more- he wasn't fired and to say that is just factually inaccurate. He resigned and was bought out, and those two things couldn't be more different.

He resigned because 200 parents came out to protest as well as the board voting to suspend him. He spoke at the SWW meeting, trying to justify the firing of the principal. He knew all the right things to say without ever answering our questions so I was not impressed. At one point he mentioned that his son would be attending this school next year, yet there is an application process to go through before being admitted and this process wouldn't start for months, so if he is not corrupt, how would he know that his son would be attending an application high school before the application process ever started? I believe I read above that he was in charge of application schools, so this does not surprise me and the principal who would make sure there was no corruption was fired???? He very well spoken, so he comes across professionally, but this is not the only quality of a good leader.

SWW principal was fired and he was there to justify this.
