I haven't done a gossip page about the old school district for a couple of years at least. Here is some fresh meat: A superintendent of a Washington State school district has been picked as the new superintendent of my old school district, Washoe County School District, to replace outgoing superintendent Kristen McNeill, who is retiring. Susan Enfield has attained the rather unusual feat of staying with her current position for ten years. Most superintendents these days last only three or four years in a district. Since she has family not far from Reno, she will possibly stick around for awhile if she isn't forced out.
You never know with this district.
What is interesting is she will be the 13th superintendent of WCSD. Why only the 13th? According to this article, Washoe County became a county district in 1955, when many smaller, presumably municipal, school districts consolidated. The first superintendent was Earl Wooster, who has a high school named after him. The article notes the longest-serving superintendent is Marvin Picollo, who also has a school named after him. It is a school for students with special needs.
By the way, former superintendent Traci Davis did negotiate a settlement payout with the district in lieu of going to court over her termination. She moved back to Las Vegas.
Here is the list of WCSD superintendents beginning in 1955:
