As a prelude to the school board's anticipated 4-3-2-1 process for determining the new superintendent, I recommend reading over the existing rules for QUALIFICATIONS AND LICENSURE OF SCHOOL PERSONNEL at http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/arule/3512/.
Of special interest is the Superintendent skills and competencies sub chapter. It makes a good starting point, at least. The Alternative licensure for school superintendents subchapter and the Variance subchapter suggest that Jim Boyd may have been in error when he contended in his Oct. 12 editorial that Mr. Jennings should be considered under the alternative licensure provisions. The rules clearly state that education beyond a bachelors is required. Also, the Variance process throws a little weight behind any who might be opposed to the granting of a variance.
