Passed the State Senate today. Seems sketchy. Our district Representative agrees or at least he said such when he replied to my email earlier this afternoon. Just putting it out there because it garnered no attention prior to a vote and seems like it should have.

I've never really agreed w having an elected superintendent anyway. I do think that at least most board members should be elected. A position such as superintendent may have too many family members or friends involved in current positions or positions created to make the right decisions for a district. I'm not saying they are all corrupt or that it can't happen with an appointed one, just seems more likely is all.
