Shame on you Mr. Colvin!

Please excuse this slightly longer post - there has been a lot going on with the Superintendency search.

After conducting interviews with the 8 semi-finalists, the board selected 2 finalists - Philip Hickman and Christina DeJesus-Kishimoto.  The minutes have not been approved, but it appears this selection was done on a 4-1 vote with Colvin, Tram, Humphreys and Smith approving.

Now the board will be meeting in special session on Monday, February 10th at 5:45 pm to re-consider this vote.  Snapshot of agenda below:

keep it secret?

The agenda for the board meeting on Tuesday, February 11th at 7 pm as already been posted.  Snapshot of agenda below:

I am already confused, but it gets better.  On a local facebook site, Mr. Colvin is openly advocating for a different candidate and talking down about the two candidates that he voted for as finalists!

Please take time to attend the board meetings on Monday and Tuesday and let them know:

1. Dwayne Farnsworth with no educational background is not the right candidate for Gilbert Public Schools Superintendent..
2. You are embarrassed by board members lack of preparation and inability to conduct a Superintendent search. 
3. You expect board members to live up to their transparency promises and keep the process open and free from political overtones.
4. You expect board members to listen to the community survey input they requested and select a Superintendent with strong leadership skills, communication ability and a background in education.

We can do better but only if the people of Gilbert show up and voice their opinions!!!
