[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not looking to tear somebody to shreds here, but Dr. Felder will probably apply for the permanent superintendent position and I would like to know more about what is was like for people to work under her supervision.

Dig up the dirt!!! :D[/quote]

We can't afford, in oh, so many ways, another $hit show.  It's early days for Dr. Felder. We don't want/need dirt. However, if there are problems, that needs to come out BEFORE the BOE hires again. Frankly, I have higher hopes for Dr. Felder than I do for the BOE.[/quote]

Maybe you're out of the loop but the reason they picked folder is she's McKnight 2.0. But it's not like the mess with Beidleman was limited to McKnight's tenure. It started long before her appointment and not all that sure that 30+ anonymous complaints really carry any weight.[/quote]

McKnight's mess was not just about Beidleman - she was a nightmare before that. McKnight went through leadership regularly because she was a toxic bully. Her absenteeism initiative? Just words at the beginning of the SY. Her anti-racism initiative? No follow-through after the anti-racism audit except to rail about white supremacists teaching students. Then there is the frozen budget for a budget formed under her "leadership."  Mostly, McKnight liked to have her driver and security staff take her around to visit schools, which required school staff to stop the necessary daily work of education to perform for the superintendent. I sincerely hope that Felder isn't McKnight 2.0. That would be the last thing we need.[/quote]

She is McK2.0 but the BoE liked McK. They only cut her lose because of public pressure and are hoping this allows them to continue with business as usual.[/quote]

I think some BOE members supported McKnight, while others found her problematic. Nobody can say anything now, because of the separation agreement's confidentiality requirement.[/quote]
