"The Rest of the Story" rest of the story

Over on Josephine Posti's Center Court blog, Josephine writes The Rest of the Story - Superintendent Buy-outs. Curious that it was posted about an hour ago. Gee, would she be one of those people being forced to read my blog? I wrote about that this morning.

Please take a couple of minutes to read her blog. In it, Posti talks about what keeps school boards up at night.  There was no mention of railroading an over-the-top high school renovation without a referendum, ignoring stakeholders, giving raises to administrators left and right, bullying commissioners to do their dirty work or controlling communication. It is odd how she couldn't control communication with Essential Public Radio.

Another concern Posti has is limiting local control over how many police officers to employ, wording of local zoning ordinances, as well as how we hire superintendents. She writes, "What works for Mt. Lebanon may be completely different from what works in South Fayette..." Funny thing about what works in South Fayette. Today's Trib has this article by Matt Santoni. With rapid growth, South Fayette schools running out of room 

Jennifer Iriti, 38, sought a place where she could settle down with her husband and their 4-year-old daughter. They narrowed their choices to Mt. Lebanon or South Fayette. As a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh's Learning Resource and Development Center, she wanted a good school district.
"In particular, we were looking for places that had really high-quality teachers, teachers who are happy, who are excited about their work," said Iriti, who chose a house in the growing Berkshires subdivision near the school district's campus on Old Oakdale Road. "I actually called some teachers up on the phone, and I was impressed by how much they liked their jobs and the (South Fayette) leadership."
Iriti weighed Mt. Lebanon's more urban, walkable feel against South Fayette's newer homes. She found three- and four-bedroom houses with yards to be less expensive in South Fayette, and still close enough to Pittsburgh via Interstate 79.
With others choosing to live in South Fayette for similar reasons, its schools are running out of room.

Maybe Josephine can donate the rest of her T-shirts and mugs to the Mt. Lebanon Historical Society.  Or try selling them on eBay and add it to the fee for the feasibility study that they will be approving tonight.
