Google may help you learn more about the final two candidates to be Fayetteville school superintendent

The Fayetteville school board's blog linked below has brief comments on the candidates remaining in the running for superintendent.
Strangely, there is no mention of their academic qualifications, just where they got degrees. In order to understand them a bit, I would at least want to know what academic subjects they are qualified to teach. We seem to be drifting away from the time when the principal was the principal teacher, when the superintendent was a teacher of special talent and merit.

If this description of Binggeli is correct, he should be perfect for herdiing Fayetteville's school board. I have heard our school board described as a cluster. "Brian Binggeli, 48, is Cluster Assistant Superintendent for Fairfax County Public Schools in Falls Church, Va."

EXPERIENCE

FAIRFAX COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, 8115 Gatehouse Rd., Falls Church, VA 22042
2006-present Cluster IV Assistant Superintendent – Area responsibility for 29 sites in 3 high
school pyramids, adult and alternative centers, 22,000 students (total division size
164,843 students). I was asked to lead a project team that revised the division
school improvement plan process providing schools with a more focused and
strategic planning model. We have combined programmatic self-assessment with
best-practice research to enhance collaboration and instructional practice. AYP
math performance increased at a percentage higher than the division or state with
black and economically disadvantaged student subgroups showing the greatest
gains. Of the three FCPS high schools that posted double-digit increases in SAT
combined average scores from 2005 to 2007, two were in Cluster IV.

SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY SCHOOLS, 8020 River Stone Dr., Fredericksburg, VA 22407
2005-2006 Executive Director of Curriculum & Instruction – Responsibilities were
expanded to supervision of K-12 curriculum development and delivery, 24,186
students. We redesigned the professional development program anchoring site-
based and division efforts on student performance data and improvement goals.
2003-2005 Director of Middle Education – We reconfigured the use of instructional time,
reducing core area class size and creating time for in-day intervention. Student
performance during this two-year period increased for every subgroup with
overall achievement increasing at a rate much higher than the state average.
These achievement gains occurred despite the division’s percentage of
economically disadvantaged students increasing by 21% as compared to a
state increase of 5.3%.

HENRICO COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, P.O. Box 23120, Richmond, VA 23223
1995-2003 Principal - Tuckahoe Middle School, 1,164 students, grades 6-8; received Blue
Ribbon recognition by the U.S. DOE – 1996. Our school was one of nine middle
schools in Virginia to meet full accreditation status in the first year of Standards
of Learning (SOL) testing. Our percentage of economically disadvantaged
students was four times the average of the other successful comprehensive
schools. In my final two years as principal, our disabled students, as a group unto
itself, actually met Virginia’s standards for full accreditation. In these years, I
conducted regression analyses correlating the combined SOL results for both
regional schools and the 50 highest scoring middle schools in the state with their
respective economically disadvantaged percentage. In each case, our school
emerged as having results two standard deviations above its predicted outcome.
School division size: 47,537 students.
GOOCHLAND COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, P.O. Box 169, Goochland, VA 23063
1993-1995 Principal - Goochland High School, 560 students, grades 9-12. We restructured
the use of time to increase student offerings and opportunity including the
creation of an early release program in which seniors studied at a junior college
or worked an internship at various businesses. We increased the percentage of
students earning an advanced studies diploma. In my two years as principal,
our students’ average norm-referenced test results (TAP) were 21.4% higher than
the average of the two previous years.
