This may only be a partial list of reasons; please, add anything else in the comments. The deadline to file to run for the Board is May 19th. Entire Board Majority NOT vetting the Superintendent in any way, shape or form. Even the Seattle Times thought that was wrong. It was just absolute hubris and it was wrong. For the second time in just over a year , board members voted to negotiate a superintendent contract during a special meeting with no opportunity for public comment. This time, they showed an even deeper disregard for their responsibilities as public servants: Aborting a national search for a new superintendent and denying Interim Superintendent Brent Jones a chance to show students, parents and taxpayers that, indeed, he is the best person for the job. Government bodies can’t fast-forward through transparent processes just because they think they know the right answer. One other odd thing about the hiring of Brent Jones - most permanent SPS superintendent contracts ar

I liked the mention of low ratio of administrators to everyone else.
The district site references the state standards (they actually seem to follow them), and supporting texts look solid. They have texts for every subject and every grade, and no signs of fuzzy math.

How awesome would it be to have the Superintendent give a presentation to the Board about comments received from the public?

Read the quote, just don't recall who it was.
Wonder if they were referring to Mr. Enoch?

“Some have said I should not leave because the work is not yet done. What we know is that this work is never done. I feel confident however, that the energy and commitment to prepare students for their future, not our past, is in our schools and classrooms, which is where it should be,” Enoch said
I like that. He won't think the SPS world doesn't revolve around JSCEE.

Danville – The San Ramon Valley Unified School District Board of Education unanimously approved a recommendation to maintain existing class sizes in grades Kindergarten through 3rd grade at 26 students, while lowering class size in 9th grade English and Math classes from 28 to 26.
“I am very pleased that we are able to avoid increasing class sizes for the coming year and that our Board members agreed that this is the best decision for students and teachers,” said Superintendent Steven Enoch.
The recommendation from the district was made based on better-than-projected State revenues, continuing enrollment growth, and financial reserves.
Aiy yi yi, love those double negatives...
