Pedro is Hartford's Mayor and as such, he knows that more then 50% of Hartford's revenue goes to the BOE.As a result of the revenue Pedro has oversight responsibility and neglected and failed to monitor the selection process, as did Jim Boucher who chairs the education committee.Part of the blame for the lack of transparency and choatic nature of the selection process must be laid to their doors.

It most certainly isn't in the Mayor's power to control the search. The best he can do is to make inquiries and suggestions, and to consider the appointments he may be able to the Board next year(?). And the time for public suggestions was long past. He should have shut
I don't take the apparent conflicts you enumerate too seriously, nor the inappropriate Medina lobbying. I pray the next search will be effective. To the extent the conflicts are serious, I presume that the two women will not be involved going forward.But, any questions should be addressed to the McDonald and the Board, not to Segarra.
While we're asking them(the Board) about the Super search, we might also ask about the three year teacher contract they have under consideration. Is it appropriate to have salary increases in each of the three years? When the Mayor is looking at a $10million shortfall in the next muni budget, and looking to keep overall spending flat?

The school system is a mess. They need to clean house. The City should take over the finance and budget dept to make them accountable. Instead of bonuses and $100,000 salaries for administrators the money needs to go to the schools, teachers and students. Don't the taxpayers care!!!!!

Peter brush,
Segarra has inquired and he suggested!!and there is no time limit on ousting incompetant no it all employees!!
The fact of the matter is that Segarra probably did not want to get involved, but realized last minute that the Adamowski Bonus Plan was down right Criminal (Administrators and teachers was fine)not overpaid employees that did not contribute to student performance! This happened on Kishimottos watch too.So why would Segarra want Adamowskis Clone to be the new Supt. Only makes sense for him to get involved based on these circumstances! Spend eighty grand for a National Search ! Do things the Right way for a change.Adamowski blew thousands to his office staff whats eighty thousand dollars more at this point to find a great candidate for Hartford Schools!
