You can be home grown and still not have a vested interest in this community, look at all your elected official, it staring you in the face and if all these schools are failing, that speaks for her qualification. We have come a long way since the team from Florida? sure, long way down, explain that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-23904276196137445252012-04-14T11:39:51.353-04:002012-04-14T11:39:51.353-04:00The notion that a homegrown candidate is a questio...The notion that a homegrown candidate is a questionable idea, if that candidate is not qualified, is valid. However, that is not the case of the interim Superintendent; she is qualified, experienced with the workings of the Plainfield school system and to this point has not been an embarrassment to the district or city. If you rate your opinions on these merits - you will be able to see beyond some your concerns. Having a Superintendent who has grown up in Plainfield, educated in the district, gone on and received the additional education we ALL were taught to strive, sends the right message to the students and hopefully parents of our town. Hard work, experience and a true calling to do good for your community will EARN (not be given) you opportunities to succeed. I would suggest we think about all aspects of the present Superintendents accomplishments and her continued efforts to improve our district before dismissing her potential appointment. Possibly without the pretext title of "interim" she may be able to really make some changes without having to be distracted by some of the on-goings by the board, city and some misguided members of our community. She is a fairly well known commodity, and has a vested interest in the city, beyond born and raised in Plainfield. How many times must we keep making the same mistake (doing the same things over and over) of hiring an unknown with no vested interest in our city, and expecting different results - last time I checked that behavior falls pretty close to mental illness...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-83615287324225294052012-04-13T17:25:19.459-04:002012-04-13T17:25:19.459-04:00Ummm 6:31am HAD THE COUNCIL NOT MUCKED WITH THE EL...Ummm 6:31am HAD THE COUNCIL NOT MUCKED WITH THE ELECTION IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE 'this' MONTH...SO SOON ENOUGH WAS JUST MOVED FOR YOU.

Why can't Plainfield get its act together with the exhorbitant amount of money we throw into our schools and especially the salaries and benefits we pay these jokers to screw up our kids. This is a horror and we need it rectifed quickly. That's why I think all aid to "Abbot Districts" needs to be pulled. All that money doesn't accomplish anything positive.<br /><br />Bob BolmerBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02322180868990260305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909246571366789334.post-15711165085746067942012-04-13T09:20:08.580-04:002012-04-13T09:20:08.580-04:00VOTE THE BOE MEMBER'S OUT.
