I'm still reeling from this awful decision, but what is the hiring shortlist for this job?  With the way Clevenger was dismissed I can't think of a lot of people that want to step into this job, especially with cuts made to the program over the last few years and an apparently unsupportive administration.

Alumni of Danville have got to start flexing their muscles in the community at all levels of the school system because the ship is in danger of sinking for good.  If stuff doesn't improve in the next five years, a merger with Boyle will have to happen.

I agree.  Who would want to come into this dumpster fire of a proud program right now?  

The only hope I can see is if the Board stands up to the Super and I think that odds are that isn't happening.  So that means a new board needs to be voted in when the time comes.  

As to merger, fiscally speaking it is past time for that to happen.  Danville doesn't have the tax base in the city to support the school system of 2021 and continue doing so.  Pride is a great thing until it ignores the practicality of what is.
