The Board DOES NOT PAY HER, it is our tax dollars. Here is the example, Judy works for IBM and here direct supervisor is Sally. Judy gets paid by IBM and therefore is employed by IBM and not Sally. Any other way of looking at this situation is asinine.
The BOE is not a private enterprise. They are elected to do what is in the best interest of the citizens of this fair city. Their personal interests are just that and should remain out of the public position in which they hold. If they want to be masters of their own fate then they can start their own school and they can run it anyway that they please. Since that is not the case, they need to understand that they MUST follow certain rules and are TOTALLY responsible to they citizens and the children within the district.
