Meet the Superintendent candidates

From Robbinsdale Schools’ “Superintendent Search” page:

A newly approved levy, renewed community support, and a clear direction from the 2008 Strategic Plan leaves Robbinsdale Area Schools in excellent position to recruit a highly qualified candidate for Superintendent to replace Superintendent Stan Mack when he retires at the end of June. The school board is expecting to name a new Superintendent by April.

It reads flowery enough, but it seems while one school district had 27 applicants, RSD lured about 6. Given the state of the district this administration is leaving the new “Supe,” we’re not surprised. But we’re hopeful that the candidates can look into history and see what a great district this once was — and can be again if we return ethics  and transparency. We will win with a replacement who is not afraid of an extreme makeover. And, with 4 school board seats opening this November, our chance is even better of a becoming a great district once again.

Keep Tuesday night, April 7th open and meet the final candidates:

Community members can meet finalists for the superintendent position, tentatively scheduled for April 7-9, 5 p.m. at the Education Service Center boardroom, 4148 Winnetka Ave. N., New Hope. A final schedule will be posted to the district web site on April 2.
