School Board Replacement Questions
It's time to clean out the dirty laundry. It's good to see that Charles Love did the right thing for once and resigned from the school board. What concerns me, though is that our anti-education County Commission will appoint his successor:
There are lots of questions to be answered in the coming months in Hamilton County and across the state.
Hamilton County Commission Chairman Fred Skillern said commissioners will set a format for how to choose Mr. Love's replacement at today's meeting. He said he expects the earliest possible vote on a replacement would be during the commission's Sept. 1 meeting.What does it mean to hold the school board accountable? Will the County Commission hire someone whose approaches to funding and school leadership mirror Love's? Or will Skillern take advantage of an opportunity to install another anti-Register parrot?
Commissioner Greg Beck, who represents the 5th District where Mr. Love served, said he will assemble a group of constituents to sort through resumes and make a recommendation for Mr. Love's successor.
"We just want to make sure we have a cross section of interested people," Mr. Beck said. "I'm certainly looking for somebody who can hold the board accountable."
