Returning to the Superintendent Search

The recent budget crisis at the Hudson City School District budget has distracted attention from the superintendent search, but at last night's Board of Education meeting, board president Mark DePace provided an update. He reported they received twenty-nine applications. From those, they have chosen nine candidates to be interviewed in early May. 

It appears the superintendent search is a bit behind schedule. Review of applications and candidate screening and selection of semifinalists was part of Phase 2, to be completed in late February to March.

    Maybe one of the interview questions should query the intent to stay with the district longer than a year.

    Maybe they should sincerely look at hiring someone who is already in the community and suited to the task.

    John is absolutely right: hire someone from the community so that we can begin to get the district back on track. The academic disaster for our kids from successive screw-ups by superintendent hires is already apparent.

    Consider bringing in Nuns as Teachers.
    They don’t back down
