you could try to find a set and run against her and then your opinions might mean
more than squat...or you could be an old whiny woman online all day instead.

jdarg, This should be a real treat! You are fixing to see how the "good ole boys" really do things "round here".

I would have thought someone would have some thoughts on this by now. Thought there was interest in this issue.

She certainly doesn't have any extraordinary credentials unless being a member of the Tea Party group on FB and also a representative of the WCEA at the same time counts for something. Perhaps that's one reason the teachers don't have a strong advocate. That being said, I voted for her in the primary last time around but I voted for the Democrat in the general election.

Regardless of who runs, they need to be well prepared for the large group of South Walton parents that are forming to put A LOT of money behind whom ever they feel is the best candidate. As a parent of kids in the system, our voice will be heard loud and clear come this vote.

I didn't vote for her last time because of her lack of qualifications. She was a non-candidate in my book. And I knew her run was a certainty, judging by the completely negative campaigning (with little content based on fact) put out by both her parents. My kids are great too, and I hope I can be honest with them if they go for something really big that they are not qualified or suited for---

Stay tuned for the list of qualifications we will be putting together, based on other districts who hire a superintendent. This should be interesting.

I do hope there is a qualified candidate worthy of this important job. . I hate having to constantly pick the "best of the worst" around here.

1. What financial experience does she have running the day to day operation of a company with a budget of more than 100 million dollars ?

2. What management experience does she have leading a workforce of more than 1000 employees ?

That's a good start.

Since the referendum to change to an appointed Superintendent failed, we are back to square one. The only requirements are a high school diploma, and residence in Walton county. No experience of any kind required, just the money and backing of the good ole boy network. It's still just a popularity contest in a county where the majority of citizens don't seem to be real bright.
