Etc.

The Charlotte Observer has a very long piece about its future superintendent Heath Morrison. Like a good "motivational speaker," also known as a professional bullshitter, he knows how to work a crowd and knows how to work the media:

Gorman resigned abruptly last June, as soon as the 2011-12 budget was finished, shocking even board members with his decision to take a private-sector job. He spoke briefly to reporters and left for an overseas vacation. Although he lives in Charlotte, he hasn’t spoken publicly here since.

Morrison says a superintendent’s exit plan is as vital as his entrance. In Reno, he’s keeping up a steady stream of public appearances. And whether he’s cutting up on air, urging wealthy donors to keep supporting schools or having a brown-bag lunch with working parents, his message loops back to one theme: This community has crafted a plan for improving schools. It doesn’t depend on me. You still have an award-winning school board and strong senior staff. Keep up the work we’ve started.

Morrison insists that unless the CMS board fires him, Charlotte won’t see his exit strategy anytime soon. But can he do it?


He's telling the same fairytale he told to Washoe County residents. Morrison has NO intention of staying at CMS.
