At least Heath Morrison was and is a qualified administrator to run a school district. The same cannot be said for poor Pedro.

Way to go, Board Members! Put someone who has NEVER spent one minute in a classroom at the head of our school district. I also have questions about his attitude toward any racial groups other than Hispanic. This man was not qualified to be here the first time he was here, he was not qualified for the job he was given in Clark County and he is even LESS qualified to be the WCSD Superintendent. He and Morrison should open a used car lot together . . . I pray for my grandchildren who are looking to this district for their education . . . and for those students who are currently enrolled here . . . when will the Board put our children FIRST????

Shame on the WCSD Board of Trustees for their lack of insight.

Facebook page? Great! Shows you how tuned into the needs of the districts employees and parents of the WCSD children the school board is. Martinez left the district after not more than two years, if that, for greener pastures in Vegas. He didn't get the school sup. job down there so now he gets a free ticket to the job here. He is a coattailer of Morrison. And was he not fully certified to be even the deputy sup down in Vegas? Bad choice WCSD school board. Shows you didn't look far or hard for the next leader.

Wait a minute. Didn't he come on board with Smoke and Mirrors Morrison and was FIRED from WCSD which is why he was in Clark County? This is going to be great.

What a shame! Although not the least qualified he's in the bottom two. Why do we kee hiring supers who demonstrate that they will abandon ship when they get a better offer? How much time has he spent in the classroom? What formal education does he have in education? We need someone who has education EXPERIENCE and LEADERSHIP experience IN EDUCATION. WCSD isn't a corporation and we need someone who will think that way at the top.

The answer is none. He is a business model school administrator.

great. So now, I guess this means we need to prepare to welcome all the problems that existed in/with the Clark County School system here to/in Washoe County. Nevada will never be great, because it refuses to every change.
As I've said, the Board of Trustees needs to be recalled.

Does not matter who runs this corrupt district, the way it continually treats it's employees is a travistry. The Department heads and the overloaded middle management try to cover each other to struggle to keep their jobs. It's a disgrace that they cannot be brought up on charges. They have literally ruined lives, especially the injured on the job employees. Do they know what the American Disabilities Act is???
No, and they don't know FMLA, either. Totally crooked. If they screw up, they are STILL allowed to have positions in the district. I totally agree with "Joe." Many of these people should be thrown in jail, including those who wronged me professionally.

This entire school board should be ashamed of itself. We need to vote them all out to get this to stop. This guy has never taught a day in his life. Morrison and now this guy are going to continue to run out good teachers because they do nothing to support the teachers. It's all about I, I, I. Ask Morrison. He just reported how *I* brought Martinez here, *I* trained him, *I* set him up. Morrison can take him with him.

Take a look at parents across America website, we have been infected by the broad virus. Shame on you school board, 3 of the 5 finalists do not hold teacher licenses in our state, nor have taught a day in their life. We had a great candidate in Doug Parry, which you let go to New Mexico. Instead we get a bean counter that MANIPULATED grad numbers. We have a person that is basing our children's future on money and numbers, not what is best for each individual kid. Why are we investing in A credit recovery, which is a joke! You can take your PE classes online now, great leadership "smoke and mirrors", Pedro, and school board. We won't even get into some of the incompetent administrators "smoke and mirrors" recruited to come to Nevada.

He kind of looks like Howdy Doody.

This is a travesty. Nepotism at its ugliest. He has no experience in education and is not qualified. He will sit around, like Morrison, and do nothing but increase his own salary to over a quarter of a million dollars/yr in three years time, like Morrison, and, since Morrison already changed the WCSD logo and made up a lame slogan, Martinez will have nothing to do other than sit back and let the money roll in. I am disgusted, and I am sad to say, as a teacher for WCSD, that I can't wait to move away from this corrupt place. If parents in this city knew what was going on at the top, they might think about doing the same.
Jane Woodburn must have pissed off the board for some reason, for she scarcely gets a mention although she was by far the most qualified of the finalists.
