Last Sunday, in Jeff Webb's opinion column titled, "Integrity isn't optional for our school leaders" one paragraph stood out and bears repeating again. According to Mr. Webb, we should expect the person who is superintendent of schools to be smart, efficient, accessible, open-minded, unbiased, stingy, generous, perceptive, observant, even-keeled, tolerant of some things and intolerant of others, articulate, well-groomed and a good listener. He indicated that this is just for starters . Mr. Webb then emphasized that above everything else, the next superintendent needs to to honest and forthright, no "ifs, ands or buts" about it.
I read that column twice and realized that Jeff Webb had described one of the local applicants to a tee. Is the grass some how greener outside our county with more qualified applicants for school board superintendent? The answer is no. The school board only needs to look in it's own back yard to find a well-rounded respected individual for the next school superintendent and his name is Ken Pritz.
