Press Release- Bill Freeman issues his statement asking the School Board to
delay hiring a new Director of Schools, in response to the MNEA’s criticism of
the hiring process.
"It is clear to me that the School Board needs to
slow down and take a deep breath on the search for
our new Director of Schools. This is the most important decision
our School Board makes and there is no reason to rush the process
just to meet an arbitrary deadline--one that's already been delayed
once.
What I’ve seen of this process so far does not meet the
standard expected by the people of Nashville. The process has been ragged and
confusing. I have confidence in our school board, but perhaps a new beginning
with a new search firm and a new slate of candidates will clear the air.
There's simply too much at stake. It's just the right thing to do.
In the coming weeks we will elect a new Mayor, a
new Vice Mayor and replace half the Metro Council with new
members. Our new Director of Schools can only earn the confidence and
support of the community if the process that selects them is fair, inclusive,
and transparent."
