Dear Editor:
A Tale of Two Doctors, one a medical doctor and one an “educational leadership” doctor. However, in this tale the medical doctor provided the education and leadership.
Dr. Whitaker’s questions made it clear he understands the process any employer interested in hiring the best candidate for a job must follow. Dr. Wright’s answers indicated she is either ignorant of this process or oblivious to it and will use the power entrusted to her by the Citizens of Enterprise to do what she wants to do.
Shouldn’t Enterprise reasonably expect more than this from the Superintendent? This meeting brings into question every hiring and firing decision made by the superintendent over the past year and a half.
Have they all been handled this way? All have been done with the unanimous approval of the school board. While the board does not directly hire and fire, their unanimous approval of all of these decisions brings their oversight responsibility into question.
Why have the basic questions Dr. Whitaker asked in this meeting not been asked in a year and a half of personnel approvals? Shouldn’t Enterprise reasonably expect more than this from the School Board?
Zig Ziglar often quoted studies that prove, in large part, we do get what we expect. Have we lowered our expectations so much this kind of behavior by our “leaders” has become normal? If so, that is sad.
However, it can be changed. Those who want this to change can Take Back Enterprise!
Dr. Wright’s response to this on social media was a post that said, “Sometimes it’s better to just remain silent and smile.” That is good advice “sometimes” but I am not sure if now is one of those times. It obviously isn’t one of those times for me. I hope it isn’t for you either. Wake Up Enterprise!
