Linda Sink's Lock on the Superintendency

Zsombor Peter writes in this morning's Journal (no available link) that Linka Sink's appointment as interim superintendent may limit the number of applicants who may want to apply for the job.

Although Peter's writing is leagues ahead of the competition, the Journal's other education writer Andrea Schoellkopf, and the Trib's Susie Gran,
he has still missed the point.

Sink's leverage in the process doesn't come from her interim appointment, but from the reason why she is the interim appointment; she is willing to protect the good ole boys in the leadership of the APS from an audit that will expose their incompetence and corruption. She is willing to be a willing participant in the cover up of the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS. She is willing to stonewall legitimate questions about the public interest in the public schools;

even at the cost of her own character.


The perfect candidate for the APS Superintendent.
