Does This Make Sense?

The outgoing CCSD Superintendent is quitting after about 2 years on the job to care for his ailing mom.
So, to spend more time with his mom, he is moving to Colorado, to live there and fly home on the weekends to be with his mom.
McCarren Airport is the in the top 5 busiest airports in the country, with Southwest Airlines being the leading carrier.  Southwest is out of Texas, where Supt. Dwight Jones mother lives.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Outgoing Clark County Schools Superintendent Dwight Jones maintained Wednesday that his sudden decision to leave the nation's fifth-largest district was personal – nothing else.
"I want to be crystal clear," Jones said. "My decision has nothing to do with any other factors outside of just wanting to do what I think is right for my family."
Jones abruptly announced his resignation from the nation' fifth-largest school district Tuesday night to take care of his ailing mother in Dallas.
Jones said he planned to move back to Denver, where his wife will return to work as a public schoolteacher. The move, Jones said, would allow him to fly to Dallas on a regular basis to care for his mother, who has been ill for some time.
Asked why he didn't take a leave of absence, as afforded to him in his contract, or relocate his mother to Las Vegas or a myriad of other options, Jones said he considered them all.
"I get that folks will say, 'You could do this, you could do that,'" Jones said. "I certainly weighed all of those options … (but) I have to make a decision that's best for my family,"

There has to be more to this story because Jones just killed any chances to be hired as any kind Superintendent or maybe assistant superintendent anywhere.
And how did his wife get a job as a school teacher in the middle of the school year?
It could be that Jones got sick and tired with all the bickering and lac of support in the community or it could be something more sinister, who knows, but it ain't what it seems.
