Press Release: Op-Ed Response to Curtis Adams' Call to Ignore Advisory Panel
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Time is Now for Opportunity and Innovation~
Response to Curtis Adams’ Call To Ignore Advisory Panel
By John Bailes
I support the open door approach by the Selection Committee for the next Hamilton County Schools Superintendent. Yet I was disappointed to read that my opponent, Mr. Adams, called on the school board to ignore the hard work of the Selection Committee in choosing three finalists.
Clearly what the Selection Committee has decided is that Hamilton County is part of the national economy and global community. The committee chose three candidates who can bring us new ideas from other markets and fresh opportunities for innovation.
While I respect Mr. Adams’ strong feelings that Deputy Superintendent Rick Smith “is the right man at the right time to lead our school system,” Mr. Adams’ viewpoint is not in alignment with representatives of the civic and business community.
How disappointing that this senior commissioner can see no merit and position other than his own. It is very difficult to work with such a person in a team setting or at a group drawing board. This is neither a smart business approach, nor the American way. Americans value innovation, not stagnation.
I hope we continue to work together, not only in choosing our next schools superintendent, but also in electing our new county commissioners. Together—with the school system and the county government—we can bridge the gap between education and business growth.
