Unfortunately, that leaves a void when it comes to innovation or change. I agree that the BOE failed. I do hope that there is a healing, but I not sure it that is really wanted.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482567840321600439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956135.post-1157225964168994032006-09-02T14:39:00.000-05:002006-09-02T14:39:00.000-05:00Had the BOE taken the time to research the candida...Had the BOE taken the time to research the candidates for superintendent the students, teachers, parents, and citizens of Montgomery, Alabama would not have been dealing with this problem. The superintendent did the same thing in Warren County, N.C.<BR/><BR/>It has come to my attention that a search does NOT have to be made to find a superintendent for any county. That is not law or policy. It is at the discretion of the BOE. <BR/><BR/>My hope is that the BOE will thoroughly investigate and research the next candidate(s). My wish is that one would be appointed from the area who does not have to take a year trying to learn the system, community , culture and climate of this thoroughly intriging and multiplex city. <BR/><BR/>Montgomery is a virtual walk in the history of this great country and should not be subjected to the ordeal it recently encountered. Healing is needed and new history needs to be made through that healing.<BR/><BR/>The writings of future historians should be of the nature that great things can come from tragedy, healing can come from hurt, and diversity can create unity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
