A Recent Blogger Posed This Question

Can you post some information about the person that was selected and how their experience/qualifications compare to Dr. Quarrels. This is my first time hearing about this, and I would love to have more information about the selection process/desired criteria.
Dr. Quarrels is the only person in the District with a doctoral degree, she also hold a specialist in Educational leadership and supervision. She has been employed with the district for twenty two years. Served as an assistant principal for thirteen of those year both a Wonder Junior High and West Memphis Senior High for the pass six years. During the former principal leave of absent for health reasons Dr. Quarrels was the acting building principal on a daily basis. We know that the appointment had zero to do with qualifications and everything to do with race and gender.
The person they GAVE the high school principal job to was hired into the district six year ago when Mr. Burton went to the high school. He has a Masters Degree Education and have been in administration for seven years. "Go figure."
To add insult to injury the superintendent had, yet another mock interview for the principal position that was open at West Junior High School and hired Mr. Burton as the new principal. Keep in mind this is the principal that missed well over one hundred documented days out of school, retired because of health reasons, coming from a school that have been in school improvement for six years, placing him at a school with outstanding benchmark scores, allowing him to retire for 30 day and then hiring him so that he can get his full retirement and a salary. This is the Crittenden County Good O'l boys at its finest. It is almost getting to be a joke because they think the African Americans in West Memphis don't have a clue.
