The Good, The Bad And the Ugly: CCSD Superintendent Summary

So, CCSD has three candidates for superintendent and it can be best summed up by the Good, The Bad and the Ugly.
The good would be Dr. Jim Browder. From the reports I have seen, Browder has done a good job in Lee County- no scandals- and a back to basic kind of guy. While his district is not very large, they don't have a lot of problems. The worst seems to be a transportation issue which seems like they are fixing.

The bad would be Dallas superintendent, Michael Hinojosa. His worst moment was when his administration totally screwed up a budget in 2008 and thousands of teachers were laid off, several of which were employed by CCSD. Looking at the comments in the local newspapers, many people are happy to see him go if he gets the job.
Hinosoja seems to have improved academics in the district and has implemented a district wide school uniform policy. That will certainly tick off the students but I think will help CCSD, overall, if implemented.

The ugly would be Mr. Dwight Jones. He runs the Colorado Education department, with only 300 employees. He was superintendent in Fountain-Fort Carson which has about 6500 students. He has been involved a scandal of reimbursement of expenses, which he seems to be have fixed. While he has been a teacher and administrator, he just doesn't have the experience of running a very large school district as the other two candidates. If Jones is the third best candidate, then CCSD did not attract a lot of quality candidates or it is possible, Jones is a finalist because he is black. This is not to say he is not a quality candidate for a smalled school district, but is he a quality top 3 candidate for CCSD?

So, here are the top three candidates. My money will be on Dr. Browder followed by Dr. Hinojosa. If Jones gets the job, then the fix is in.
