Seattle School Board Announces Superintendent Finalists
And so far, I'm pretty impressed.
They are (in no particular order):
- Jeanice Kerr Swift, superintendent of Ann Arbor SD in Michigan
- Andre Spencer, superintendent of Colorado Springs SD, in Colorado
- Denise Juneau, State Superintendent of Public Instruction from 2009 to 2017 in Montana
I'll be doing a separate thread on each and hoping to post all three tonight.
First up, Dr. Swift.

Candidate Andre Spencer https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/supe_candidateB
Candidate Jeanice Swift https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/supe_candidateC
Please submit any comments by 9:00pm on Thursday, March 29 to allow the Board time to review the feedback. The Board intends to vote at its meeting on April 4 to begin negotiations with a single finalist.

I'd steer clear there.

“People know basically what your reform line is: hard on the unions, pro-charter, pushing for a certain kind of accountability,” said Mr. Klonsky, a chronicler of what he believes are Broad Foundation shortcomings in his blog Small Talk. “It’s not just a coincidence they all have the same position, more or less.”

We tried one of their grads in Maria Goodloe-Johnson. She was so driven to HER vision that she ignored teachers AND operations and we ended up in crisis.
No thanks. I’m willing to listen to Spencer but I already have my doubts.
