I sure hope there's some new blood that comes onto the board, rather than recycled Bill Russack and company. How can you vote for anyone that has been part of the dysfunction which is the Wantagh School Board for the past several years, over-seeing a revolving door at Superintendent.
The fact that the board has STILL never disclosed why the last superintendent was only on for 3 months and then left is very telling, even the district's own teachers don't know. I DO know they are embarrassed because they wasted millions of dollars on an outside search committee for the hiring, as well as tons of money in buying out his contract. I've been told by many friends that are teachers in Wantagh that the board is IMPOSSIBLE to work with and thus the superintendent wanted out. (At least Maureen Goldberg is good and will put them in their place). There is way too much nepotism on the current board and it needs fresh faces....(No, I'm not a candidate and don't have ANY ties to anyone new who is running).. It's just time for some fresh blood and stop the insanity.... A large majority of Wantagh teachers think the existing board is a total mess. Here's to some fresh change....
