11th largest.
That's a bigger public school system than world class-Baldridge Montgomery County Public Schools.
It's Palm Beach County in Florida.
What are these people thinking?
They are conducting a PUBLIC Superintendent search. PUBLIC as in the NAMES (GASP!!) of the 25 candidates AND their RESUMES (HORRORS!) are posted on the school systems website for the PUBLIC to review.

In progressive Montgomery County, Maryland our Board of Education conducts superintendent searches the "right" way! They do it in secret, even if they have to violate the Maryland Open Meetings Act! What role does the public have in a public school anyway?
Our Board of Education is so intent on keeping public information secret that they have even hired an outside attorney to beg the Maryland Open Meetings Compliance Board to expunge the Opinion that found a violation in last year's superintendent search process.
Janis, did you actually clicked on the link for Palm Beach and looked at the names? The idea is great but obviously a joke.
ReplyDeleteDid you actually look at the date on this post? It's from 2012 and the links have been taken down. The fact remains that Palm Beach made the names and resumes of their finalists public.

Why is it so important to you that the superintendent selection process in Montgomery County be secret? Plenty of other large districts do an open search. The problem with that is? Oh - the Panasonic Foundation wouldn't get to pick the superintendent that they want? Gallup wouldn't get to pick their candidate?
