They should just wait until after the congressional runoff. I hear Michael Guest and Steven Palazzo will be looking for new jobs soon!
I’m expecting a shit show therefore I will either be right or pleasantly surprised.
Wow, it is great to see a State Agency actually take some time and go looking for the most qualified candidate rather than just punting.
If only Veterans were as important as education.
I will never understand why the people who make up such a prestigious board can't handle the responsibility of hiring a superintendent. They should know better what our MDOE needs than some consultant group.
waste of money. they already know who they're going to hire to that position. this is just optics
bahahahahahahaha
No one will be hired without the Governor and big donor approvals! Just like when John Davis at MDHS gave federal monies to their friends. The fix is in!
Rankin County Graduate here :
I’ll do it for $250,000/year, 10 year contract. That will save the state about $75,000 /year from what they are paying now.
Just a way to make the qualifications fit the person they have already decided on.
It is a shame that the great state of Mississippi doesnt
Why do we even need a state department of education? What have they ever accomplished?
How much does the dept cost taxpayers? How many people work there that make over 100K?
How many total people work there?
What do they do? What is the cost of travel/expenses each year for employees attending out of state
events each year? When was the education dept created?
Taxpayers need answers.
Biggest scam in the whole country is the Mississippi DOE. Just a bunch of well organized, connected hillbillies who think they part of an "inner circle" that gives/gets well-paying, do-nothing jobs, and a spot at the trough.
I see the mouth breathers got their Windows 8 to work again. Do any of you believe there is any good in society other than your own version? Y’all need to travel more.
7:52 = making over $100k at MDOE
Y'all be quiet about MDE. We would not be first in the nation in education without them. Oh wait... Well maybe you are on to something here.
5:50….. hillbillies is inaccurate to the region . Good enough KF ?
This is the same firm who hired Kimber for the Madison County School District. She was fired within 6 months. I am not sure how much faith I would put in that particular firm.
Why do y'all hate Mississippi so much? Is it better somewhere else? Everywhere has their problems. We just publicly self-flagellate over ours.
Hope the legislature cuts the salary in half.
Why the hell didn't this process begin as soon as Wright was convinced to resign? What's the point in going six months with nobody in the job?
Reading some of the comments makes me recall the guy who was to select the new chancellor at Old Myth and chose himself. Wasn't Phil Bryant national chair of some governors committee on education? He's available and, remember...he made the decision to turn JPS operation over to the mayor. Now that's a demonstration of true vision and leadership.
Phil Bryant? In charge of a $3.2B budget?? Have you been living under a rock??
Possible names in for the job:
Mike Kent
Sue Townsend
Charlotte Seals
Charlie Raspberry
