School Board needs to step up to the plate

Quint Studer, a major proponent for an appointed school superintendent, believes it’s too soon to return to an elected superintendent.

“This is a whole new game for school board members,”said Studer on WCOA. “They now have responsibility and accountability. And I think that’s been a struggle for some of them because you’ve sort got to step up to the plate.”

He continued, “So in, in my mind, if you know you don’t like the job the person’s doing, then change the person. But you don’t throw out the whole system because you don’t like the job the person’s doing.”
