Superintendent Search Open After All

According to the Journal, (sub req) Earlier this week, the board, at their regularly scheduled board meeting, approved a plan that would have made public only the names of the top three superintendent candidates.

Yesterday, presumably at the board's study session on the superintendent search, the board reversed its position, deciding to open up the search and make the names of candidates public.

Two days after voting to accept a search plan the would keep candidates names secret (even in violation of the law); Board President
Maes said; "Regardless of what the law says, I think this board is feeling it needs to be an open process."

The article offered no explanation for the abrupt about face. I suspect that her lawyers informed her that they would not be able to except her from the requirements of the law; and now she would like people to believe that that was her an open search was her intention all along.

The change is none the less, welcome.

If a public leader openly states a plan and advocates breaking the law, then they should be charged with inciting lawlessness, or whatever the proper term is. If a mayor or governor were to say "I don't care what the law is, smoke pot" or "Guys, hire prostitutes anyway" he would be so fired,a nd probably charged as well.
Maes says some incredibly horrible things. Ex: Parents getting in teachers' faces, breaking the law is acceptable....
How dare she be around any child, or influence their futures with this criminalistic and bad behavior? THIS is what kids have to look forward to in their leaders?
Ms. Maes.... YOU SHOULD STAND IN SHAME AND RESIGN ..for the good of the kids!
