The curriculum related hires are a bit disappointing to me. There were talented candidates in our district who were passed over in favor of staff from the superintendents previous district. Once again the diversity of the student body is not reflected by leadership. How long will the School Board keep hiring outsiders who use our district as a steppingstone to something else “better?”
