New era finally ends. Sorry I missed the historic meeting last night, so here is last July item with art

Rerun below of post after the July 24, 2008, Fayetteville School Board meeting.
Please click on image to Enlarge photos of Bobby New, Fayetteville's outgoing superintendent of schools.


Between spending more than an hour interviewing people to "search" for candidates to become superintendent and spending more than an hour discussing buying two different wetland prairie tracts for a potential school site, the school board had to listen to the outgoing superintendent beg them to buy more wetland.
Audubon's future nature site was used to make the sale sound good, even though Audubon's presence actually should be convincing them that the land should not be built on and, if bought, should mostly be a nature site itself.

You have to love theatre of the absurd to watch this kind of thing.

The chairman of the board of education and the superintendent agree.

Tim Kring moves that some land be sold from the former Hoskins property to offset any new purchase in the Deane Solomon area. It isn't over. Check channel 14.
Reruns of Thursday, June 25, 2009, school-board may be found at COX 14 in Fayetteville. See today's newspapers for story on the train that keeps rolling backward! Will the incoming superintendent get out in the community and get to know the people? New never bothered.

Those two pictures are tops among all published pictures of the former superintendent. How did you get him to pose like that?
