Crosscut Article about Seattle School Board (the new one)
I had an article published in today's Crosscut about the elections and what is on the to-do list for our new Board.
In it I mention the issue of deciding about whether there will be a superintendent search or not. I have learned today that Dr. Enfield will not apply if the Board does decide to conduct a search.
I don't quite know what to make of that because it is not a ding against Dr. Enfield to have a search. If she feels that way, then may she isn't the person for the job. The Board's overriding duty is to make sure we have the best person in place for OUR district.
She was appointed interim superintendent in the midst of a crisis as the best person at the time but there were surely no guarantees made so I don't know why she would feel if they create a search it hurts her.
