Aiken County School District considers Everitt

The Journal reports this morning that Beth Everitt is among three finalists for the position of superintendent of the Aiken County (S. Carolina) School District. (link sub req)

What makes the story interesting, is that she was able to compete for the position without having to explain, defend, or even acknowledge any of the problems in her current position;

• the APS Police Department scandal,
• gradegate,
• the principal shuffle,
• the squandering of public trust and treasure at the UAC,
• the shambles that is the APS Financial Department
• her refusal to surrender her administration to an impartial accountability audit.
• or her abdication as the senior administrative role model of the student standard of conduct, for 99,000 of our sons and daughters.
  

Interesting becomes worrisome when one considers the possibility that our next superintendent will likely come to us under similar circumstances;

• A county district attorney like Kari Brandenburg; who is willing to sit on evidence rather than allow Beth Everitt's administration to be held accountable for the criminal misuse of sheriff's office equipment and resources.
• A county sheriff like Darren White; who is willing to disregard open government laws in order to cover up for Beth Everitt's administration; and his own.
• A law firm like Modrall, whose president is married to the school board president.
• A law firm like Modrall, feeding off taxpayer support of education, litigating exception even from the law, for senior administrators and board members.
• A law firm like Modrall, to litigate exception to the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act.
  
• And local media who are willing to ignore an ethics and accountability scandal in the public schools, rather than hold Beth Everitt honestly accountable for her conduct and competence as public servant.

What if a lemon is marching our way?

How would we know?
