Among the more damaging allegations, the grand jury blamed the board for taking nearly two years to find a permanent replacement for former superintendent -----, who is now under indictment for fraud.
“While we have no issue with the work and effectiveness of the interim superintendent, not having a permanent superintendent in place for an extended period while the system was in turmoil and obviously needed significant improvements leads to questions about the school board’s effectiveness in meeting their sworn duty,” the report read.
Among some of the charges:
The school board had too much influence in the hiring and retention of personnel, which created a culture where “friends and family” are benefiting.
Phew! Although it may sound familiar, I am glad this time is not us who were on the news! The news, nonetheless, call for close examination so we can make sure our district doesn't run into a similar problem.
