I'd say, don't let the screen door hit you on the way out, Carol.
As a Tennessean myself, a Memphian in fact, I assure you that the difference between Nashville and Memphis is a lot greater than just 240 miles along I-40. Nevertheless, I think it is only fair to remind readers that Carol Johnson has served Minneapolis Public Schools faithfully and admirably for over thirty - thirty! - years, most of those years as a classroom teacher. Her commitment to the children of Minneapolis is indisputable. She has served as superintendent now for six years at a time when the average tenure for urban superintendents nationwide is just a little longer than two years. Concern at the prospect of her possible departure is understandable, but impugning her integrity in the process is unwarranted.
