Wake County school board chairman Ron Margiotta has named the members of the superintendent search committee but Keith Sutton is not one of them.
Board vice chairwoman Debra Goldman will chair the committee. She had previously been charged with looking at various firms that might be hired to help conduct the search.
Goldman will be joined on the committee by Chris Malone, Carolyn Morrison and Deborah Prickett.
The Raleigh-Wake Citizens Association had asked Margiotta to name Keith Sutton as co-chairman of the committee.
Kevin Hill is also not on the committee. He had said he'd be interested in serving based on his prior experience as a district teacher and administrator. But Morrison and Prickett provide the new committee with two educators.

Tue, 04/27/2010 - 15:07 — jgegbgmgGoldman, Prickett & Malone - Are you kidding - What do they really know about education????? Goldman appears to always be a little confused during the Board meetings, Prickett only speaks when someone has given her something to read & Malone opens his eyes wider every time someone says something he has a problem with (especially what the cost effect will be on that new school site he ran for). As for Morrison at least her background is strong with education experience. She would at least know what to ask a candidate when the time came to question one. By the way, I wonder if Tedesco gave Ron any lip because he was not named to the search committee??? I know he was upset since he is the one who keeps responding to interviews about the future. Poor guy !!!!!
You Can Say That About Candidates on Both Sides Actually...
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 16:56 — JanisTangoActually Prickett was in the public school system for 20+ years and now is at the DPI. I would say she has some knowledge of eduction. Please give me the qualification for Mr. Sutton beyond the fact that he was hand picked for the job!
Pricket qualified?????
Wed, 04/28/2010 - 05:45 — FairnshareShe is a "consultant" for DPI and her job entails administering the Character Education Program.....ironic? Now here is an easy cut to help the State's budget.
Struck A Nerve
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 23:36 — jgegbgmgMs. Prickett's 20+ years in the public school system and now at DPI only means she has learned to read the information given to her more efficiently. I understand she has used the term "NO Comment" quite often when meeting with the people in her district. That pretty well sums up her ability.
selection to these committee have nothing to do with
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 17:14 — Athey01qualifications... it's at the discretion of the BOE chairman. Of the BOE members, who has actually interviewed and hired the most job candidates? Based upon this criteria, I would assume Mr Hill should be on the committee, but that obviously is not going to occur.

Why
Mon, 04/26/2010 - 22:56 — Athey01did it take so long to form this committee? Dr Burns tendered his resignation in the begin of March. Mrs Goldman seems to be a very organized and intelligent woman, but has very thin skin. Unsure she will be prepared for the "slings and arrows" that will be hurled in her direction... but I'm hoping for the best.
I don't know but then
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 10:47 — red_balloonI don't know but then everyone seems to have some ideas on priorities. The latest I read is about leaving the supdt.'s position vacant.
Whether the position is
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 11:29 — user12345Whether the position is filled or not will have little affect on inidividual student education ... I say leave the position open for two years until we get out of this financial hole and put the money into keeping teachers.
I doubt they will leave the
Tue, 04/27/2010 - 11:04 — DrActualFactualI doubt they will leave the position vacant, it may take some time to do a good Supt. search. I believe Ms. Goldman is an excellent choice in this capacity as she has had some experience interviewing and hiring people.
Examples Please
Wed, 04/28/2010 - 09:32 — jgegbgmgGoldman has had SOME experience interviewing and hiring people - Can you give us more information on when she did such - And what kind of employment was involved? I just can't picture her is a position of management - especially the way she handles herself on the Board !!!!
Wasn't her managment
Wed, 04/28/2010 - 12:16 — user12345Wasn't her managment experience just finding other volunteer firefighters?
