Dr. James McIntyre, Superintendent of Knox County Schools received the TN PTA Superintendent of the Year award last night. While Brian’s Blog believes that McIntyre is doing a good job thus far. It is our opinion that it’s still too early to award anything.
Knox County Schools is his first Superintendent job and he didn’t begin the job until July 11, 2008. So, the TN PTA awards the 2008 Superintendent award to someone that wasn’t on the job from January 1 – July 10, 2008, 5.5 months. That is a slap in the face of every TN Superintendent that worked 12 months.
But then again the State PTA organization is out of touch and rarely give any real thought to their actions.
