Grier goes sooner, after all

We were not in favor of the school board forcing Terry Grier out sooner rather than later, but now that it's happened we're prepared to focus on a couple of positives from the latest developments:

1. The designation of Eric Becoats and Sharon Ozment as co-interim superintendents -- if there's a sensible division of responsibilities -- should provide continuity of leadership. It also shows confidence in the senior staff currently in place.

2. It helps the school board speed up the transition from Grier to the next superintendent. If all goes well, perhaps a new chief can be in place this summer.

What do you think?

I didn't read where the BOE 'forced' Dr. Grier out. Do you have a source that indicates that he requested to stay and was denied?

What do you think of Mrs. Becoats now reporting to Mr. Becoats?

Would this arrangement be allowed at the News & Record?
