ED, should D89 have an asst supt of curriculum & instruction [D89]

After publicly saying District 89 (Maywood and Melrose Park elementary schools) weren't going to hire assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction there's been a flip-flop. See Maywood Herald (Chris LaFortune).

One of the things that seems wrong about the process is that Superintendent Cynthia Broughton presented six candidates to the board for consideration.

Here's how boards are supposed to work. The board hires the chief executive and s/he gets to hire her staff.

For some reason I'm suspicious that the field of five remaining candidates includes someone politically connected who will be hired whether Broughton wants the candidate or not.
