Morris Moved to Super

Pam Morris will be the new superintendent. The agenda of her regime will come to light in the next few months. Be prepared for her to jump to another district as Price did if a better offer comes along in the next few years. Hopefully the board will write into her contract a penalty clause to keep her from using SISD as a springboard. Of course, that is a "catch 22" with a lot of risks involved. The board could sign her to a short term contract with incentive clauses tied to the performance of the district. Morris will then have the option of not renewing at the end of her term and playing the market. If the board signs her to a long term contract and she underperforms, we will be stuck with her. Do we really want to go through the search process AGAIN!!!! Welcome to the world of proffesional sports. The candidates are sitting on the sidelines, wringing their hands that they did not have a say in this decision. Can't wait till the forum on Monday. Eye might be in attendance. Eye'll say hello.

MYSTERY AND MORRIS

Pam Morris and a mystery candidate are in the running for the superintendent's position with the district. Eye predict it will be Morris. The only issue with that is the replacement of the husband or rewriting of the rules to allow the husband to keep his position. Will she do a good job? Let's look at both sides..... she has tons of educational experience and a lot of titles behind her name, but does she have common sense? Eye don't know her that well. She is a wife and mother, but career, has and always will, come first before family and friends. Is that someone we want running the district? It will take a driven person to drive out the dregs of our educational system. She is definitely a driven person. Can she make the hard decisions that are ahead for our district? Time will tell but so far, she seems to have that ability. She does seem to have the resolve of Hillary, so.....the harassment that may be headed her way will be handled head-on unlike her predecessor. Also, like Hillary, she seems to buy into the "It Takes a Village" concept. Ask your own questions, do your own research. It will definitely be interesting.

Eye can't wait for the school board election. The crew that is running this year should make it very fun to watch. Most of the candidates have a verifiable track record. They need to be very careful about what they say and who they say it too. Why? Because the community is coming out of its shell and will call them on any misinformation that may be forthcoming. It is a bad idea in today's world to put lies on one's resume'. Honesty is the best policy and the truth will set you free. Good luck to all, and good luck to the present school board as the election approaches.
