text: Yes, as you stated, "...this all LOOKED like..."  That is YOUR perception based on what you heard. What I'm writing is NOT a perception but FACTS because I one of his supporters and have worked with him. Initially, he had NO intention of becoming a superintendent and that is why he accepted the BOE appointment. He's a smart man. If he did consider becoming a superintendent, he would not have accepted the BOE position knowing that he would have to resign.  He accepted the BOE position because he wanted to do ANYTHING to help the schools. Then after requests from MANY of his supporters, he realized that he could help the schools better as a superintendent by working directly at the school level, with the principals and the teachers.  I really wish that people will not jump to conclusions and judge people without evidence. I have been a teacher for over 20 years, and I teach my students about being respectful, fair and rational.
