The Denver Post: When Dan McMinimee was named sole finalist for superintendent of the Jefferson County School District three years ago, the reaction was swift and harsh.
Community members lashed out at the board of education, accusing it of stomping all over transparency and democracy by presenting just one candidate to the teachers and parents of the 86,000 students who make up the district.
This month, a board that includes two vocal critics of that 2014 appointment announced that Eagle County School District Superintendent Jason Glass would be the sole finalist for superintendent of Colorado’s second-largest school district, following a decision in March not to renew McMinimee’s contract.
While reaction to Glass’ appointment had none of the public fury that accompanied the outcry from 2014, more than a few parents have taken note of the return of a selection process that was roundly condemned three years ago — notably by current board members Amanda Stevens and Ali Lasell.
