I see now why the board half assed the new superintendent search and instead just decided to go with Dr Fernandez, a 40 year lifer in public school system. It’s mind boggling nobody at the board or media or mayor’s office even questions this publicly. So incredibly, deeply corrupt!

This was one of the worst things that this board did for perhaps the most important decision that a school board makes. We voted to conduct a national search for a superintendent, passed a resolution to conduct one and then they just did not do it. I was so upset with this and the day that Dr. Fernandez was approved, I absolutely went off in public session about it during our board meeting. The board basically lied to the public and did not follow through on a commitment that was made. I was disgusted by this. I personally don’t have anything against Dr. Fernandez, I think she is a good person and we need her to be successful because now she is our superintendent but the board let the district down on this.
