Of course, it never should have been called in the first place. But you did hear the superintendent's request; right?
Supt. Davis said on September 14, ""It would be the recommendation of the superintendent for the board chair to consider a special-called board meeting with only the superintendent's contract on that board meeting..."
Is that not pretentious? Self-serving? Ego-driven?
Why would he say "... the recommendation of the superintendent..."? He IS the superintendent. He's sitting right there. He is the one speaking. He's not talking about someone behind the curtain. He is talking about himself.
Why didn't he say, "I would appreciate your considering my proposed revised contract at your earliest convenience, perhaps at a special meeting next week"?
Of course, Teresa Holmes is going to do whatever he asks. You'd think she works for him and not the other way around.
Where's McKie on all this? Why isn't she demanding that her laundry list of student-centered items get on a special-called meeting agenda ahead of the superintendent's contract?
And same with Caution-Parker and Manning?
Who's first? The students or the superintendent? The answer is clear from the agenda for tomorrow night's meeting.
Trustees Agostini, Scott and McFadden can at least control the superintendent's not being more important than the students by just not showing up tomorrow night. ALL THREE need not to show up. If one of them shows, there will be a quorum, and the superintendent will get his raise and the other perks he wants.
