Sometimes Fast, Sometimes Slow

That is the way DeKalb Schools operate. Maintaining buildings? Glacially slow. Firing a superintendent? Hair trigger. Hiring a replacement? Fixin' to get ready to start thinkin' 'bout sifting thru some resume's. Almost a year after the abrupt firing. 

And about that firing. No one ever came clean on the real cause, but the board had commissioned a former FBI agent to do an investigation, firing the supe before the investigation was complete. And yet. There was a report. A report exonerating the supe but implicating two top career officials for unauthorized actions. Oh, and keeping the supe in the dark. So, the board fires the supe, retains the dopes at their $200K/yr salary. 

Should this board be hiring anyone?
