(these undoubtedly some of the same people that can't let go of the Bush Administration)<br /><br />I'll tell you why: because we may be doing this in another 3-5 years.<br /><br />What may have happened since the Age of Gus is that we've become a stepping stone, for school administrators on the way up. That would be ok IF we get our money's worth. <br /><br />Unlike some communities, we actually do the "nationwide search". When we hire candidates with no roots or family here (or who don't bring their family with them!), we can expect that some might not like it here for whatever reason and then decide to go elsewhere.<br /><br />If this guy is here in 2019, I'll buy Larry Kelley the biggest double chocolate latte he can order at Starbucks in town, or a very tall frosty grain-based adult beverage at the Moan. Not gonna happen.<br /><br />That being said, we probably aren't going to be allowed to deconstruct how the bargaining went.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
