"Find APS a Direction Before a New Leader"

That advice comes from a Sunday morning Journal editorial.

The school board has a considerable amount of homework to do before they select the next superintendent for the APS.

The new superintendent, who ever they are, needs to be pointed in a specific direction. You can't just hire someone and then see where they take you.

The board needs to give considerable thought to important questions before the search begins. They need to listen to teachers and the other folks who work at the educational interface, to find out what they think; to find out what they need to be successful.

It would be inefficient, ineffectual and arrogant to do otherwise.
