Jennings says about-face on superintendent's job rooted in pragmatism Allie Shah, Star Tribune Published October 12, 2003 It was opening night for David Jennings, and he wasn't showing any signs of jitters.
Despite the scores of people who denounced his appointment as superintendent and demanded that the school board withdraw the offer, Jennings seemed determined to ride out the controversy. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4148535.html Doug Grow: When the going started getting tough, Jennings got out Doug Grow, Star Tribune Published October 12, 2003 Maybe the Background Noise Brigade (BNB) was right. Maybe David Jennings really wasn't qualified to be the superintendent of Minneapolis schools. The BNBers -- the Rev. Randolph Staten and a handful of others -- hadn't even really warmed up when Jennings threw in the towel. http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4148619.html Jim Boyd: Jennings deserved a chance to try Jim Boyd Published October 12, 2003 David Jennings and the Minneapolis school district got the shaft. It was administered by perennially angry rabble-rousers who can't see beyond their own narrow agenda. They were aided by a school board that didn't lay the proper groundwork for naming Jennings, but for this crowd that probably wouldn't have made any difference. http://www.startribune.com/stories/1519/4147542.html Shawn Lewis, Field Neighbhorhood -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup CareerBuilder.com has over 400,000 jobs.
