MUSD SEEKS NEW SUPERINTENDENT - MEETING TONIGHT

MUSD SEEKS NEW SUPERINTENDENT

Please attend the MUSD Superintendent search session TODAY at 6:30 PM at Desmond School (Find location in Yellow Pages Maps).

I feel we need a person who actually lives in Madera. All of the MUSD administrators live in Clovis because the MUSD is so Bad and they want their kids to have a good education which can be provided in the Clovis School District. None of these administrators have buy-in for helping MUSD. MUSD is stuck in "mediocrity" and needs to recruit excellence. Most of the MUSD administrators are over-paid...and they want more. If you want to live in Clovis, get a job in Clovis. A person who lives in Madera will support our Madera businesses and schools, not the Clovis businesses.

If we citizens must pay for the MUSD administrators, I want to see some EXCELLENCE.

In addition, we have "white flight" in Madera where the white students are attending private schools and MUSD is left with 60% to 80% Hispanic students. Since our schools are mostly Hispanic, we need to recruit a minority Superintendent.

I expect the new Superintendent to have a DOCTORATE and be a well-rounded professional in education.

The only person I am familiar with at MUSD who could possibly be the next Superintendent is Deborah Woods. Anyone else currently in the district is unacceptable, unless they work for a greatly lower salary. Hence, that would mean we would get significant financial savings in return for a less-educated MEDIOCRE Superintendent. I know Porterfield wants the job but, for a number of reasons, he is not a good choice and does not provide the ROLE MODEL needed.

Please attend the meeting tonight - 6:30 PM, Desmond - or tomorrow at Madera High School, 6:30 PM.

Our kids can not succeed unless you demand EXCELLENCE.
