Comments on: A Rubber Stamp? http://www.ontheborderline.net/a-rubber-stamp/ Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito. Defending the constitution from government intrusion where ever it may be lurking.

Policy #222 is a worthless piece of paper. Everything it outlines can be done by the school board right now. If it sees a shinning star there is nothing that says the board can't approach the individual and interview him. Then we come to a standard policy in industry: the question of the individual's career goals in the yearly review. Why would the board interview a teacher who says he wants to be the best teacher he can be? A person not interested in saying that he wants to be an administrator doesn't want the job very badly. And this. What kind of recommendation would the "administrative team" give if a candidate wants strict accountability? The screening process in #222 does attempt to push power into a committee. In the selection process, the board would certainly ask for the advice of the superintendent and possibly other administrators and even outstanding teachers. This is common sense and doesn't have to be put on paper. Policy #222 seems to imply that the members of the school board are a bunch of idiots.

The issue still comes down to the fact that the New Richmond School Board runs the district. No matter what the policies are, it still decides who will be the next superintendent unless, of course, it wants to hide behind bureacratic policy. Like the Three Stooges would say, "I'm a victim of circumstance." There’s some good stuff in what Jackie has to say.
