I don't know if any of these finalists for Washoe County School District superintendent are worth a shit, but at least Trent Blankenship wasn't a finalist. Blankenship is regarded as one of the worst superintendents in the entire country.

The finalists are:

Two of the candidates are from Texas and two from California, including Vincent Matthews, the current superintendent of the Oakland Unified School District.

The Texans include Kimberly D. Olson, a former colonel in the U.S. Air Force who is chief human development officer for the Dallas Independent School District.

...

— Matthew H. Malone, the superintendent of Swampscott Public Schools in Massachusetts who previously was a special assistant to the superintendent of San Diego City Schools, Calif.

— Lawrence W. Fryer, Jr., the chief operating officer of the Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland who previously as a senior managing consultant for IBM Global Business Services.

— Edmond T. Heatley, the superintendent of the Chino Valley Unified School District, Chino, Calif.

— Hector Montenegro, an education consultant in Arlington, Texas where he formerly served as superintendent.


It sounds like some of these people are privatizer types.

Not that I care after all of the crap I went through, but I thought I'd pass this along.

Anybody from the "Broad Superintendent Academy" doesn't exactly inspire confidence:

Kimberly D. Olson

Vincent Matthews

Edmond Heatley

Anybody associated with the likes of Eli Broad should be viewed with skepticism; others on the list with corporate ties should also be viewed with similar skepticism.



At least they aren't cronies of people of the district.
