Meet the Superintendent Finalists
The Board of Education will be hosting two meet-and-greets Monday with finalists for HCPSS superintendent.
The Howard County Board of Education (BOE) has selected two finalists for superintendent of schools.
Dr. S. Dallas Dance, chief school officer for the Houston Independent School District in Texas, and Dr. Renee A. Foose, deputy superintendent of the Baltimore County Public Schools, will be introduced to school system employees and the community at two "meet and greet" events Monday, March 26 at the Department of Education building.
From 2 - 4 p.m., each candidate will have one hour to meet with attendees informally. Then from 6 - 8 p.m. the BOE will host a question and answer forum for the community. Each candidate will have one hour to respond to questions from the audience.
The forum will be broadcast live online on HCPSS TV, cable channels 42 (Verizon) and 95 (Comcast).
Attendees will be able to submit a feedback form to the Board; residents can also send comments to boe@hcpss.org.
Current Superintendent Sydney Cousin will step down effective July 1.

The real story here is the absolute lack of public input and public vetting of the next superintendent.

ror insight into Foose
Flip a coin and move on to the removal process. Neither one of these people have
been anywhere long enough or done anything outstanding beyond ride the
questionable coat tails of an education system which is on the verge of bringing
America to its knees. They are here for the money, self serving, plain and
simple. A professional student who can quietly suck down whatever they are told
and move from agency to agency in search of promotion is a far different person
from one who has built something.
