Top educator job hunt, cont.
(Gerald Dawkins, Percy Mack and Craig Witherspoon, the three candidates for superintendent in Columbia, chat prior to a community meet-and-greet Tuesday.)
All three candidates for superintendent in Columbia, S.C., including Dayton’s Percy Mack, participated in an awkward-sounding joint meet-and-greet with the public Tuesday and then interviewed with the school board. It was hard to get any feel for how they were received from the story in the State, Columbia’s newspaper.
Meanwhile, The Fordham Foundation’s Ohio Gadfly newsletter waves a fond farewell to Susan Zelman, Ohio’s superintendent of public instruction who is looking to move on after clashing with Gov. Ted Strickland. The Gadfly calls Zelman “ornery, strong-willed, and mercurial, in addition to very bright, boundlessly energetic, and quite creative.” Fordham says Ohio will miss “Dr. Z” and warns of danger on the horizon as Strickland pushes his education agenda.
