[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious about the replacement people imagine. I’m not sure there will be a line out the door to deal with us. The pool of qualified candidates is shrinking not growing. We are always competing with other nearby counties.  Who else wants to be named as a plaintiff in a supreme court case and be told they make too much for their trouble ? [/quote]

Haha. Taylor makes $360,000 per year. I think there will always be a line out the door for that kind of money. Seriously though, we are the 16th largest school district in the country. There are qualified candidates out there and we will be ready for one to replace this guy.

I don't think so. Where were all those qualified candidates when we were hiring a new super in 2024? And 2022? And 2016?[/quote]

Oh there were some, but the BOE chose poorly.

Clearly the biggest mistake of Jack Smith's career was elevating Monifa McKnight as acting superintendent. The board should not have hired her as a permanent superintendent, but they were afraid of being labeled as racists. There were misgivings among some and they should have held their ground. The board was taken in by Taylor - he does know how to turn on the high-wattage charm, as needed. That is a certain kind of person, I believe.

That is why it matters to recruit and elect knowledgeable BOE members. And unfortunately, we see a lot of not great candidates before us this year. Still, they may in the end get it right, when Taylor's reign comes to an end.  [/quote]
