Sources I know tell me there's less "conspiracy" to this than appears.

I've heard that immediately after the interviews of the 4 candidates, there were developments that allowed the position to be a half-time teaching/half-time AD arrangement (MUCH better considering the amount of work an AD has to get done during the day). That appears to have changed the dynamics...now an AD must be found whose teaching certification matches whatever teaching area the school has that's only taught half a day.

It could simply be that none of the four candidates (all of whom seem to me VERY qualified to be a great AD) have the teaching schedule that allows them not to have classes half the day.
