To the extent that information is the foundation of democracy,
it is only information that voters have in time to act on it.
The Journal has finally acknowledged that the school board is doing their annual evaluation of the superintendent, link. Their headline reads; Superintendent Evaluation Starts. It should have read; "started". By the time the Journal clued in their readers, it was too late for them to do anything - the process began in unjustified secret from stakeholders.
The Journal has an obligation to inform stakeholders in time for them to act.
"The Journal" knows the evaluation has been, and will be, conducted in meetings allowing input from on one, not from teachers, not from staff, not from parents, not from students and not from the people.
They know Brooks evaluation will take place in secret from interest holders. They know board members are conflicted in the evaluation of their own hire, have not denied, defended, or even acknowledged their conflict, and enjoy no oversight whatsoever in their process.
But they won't report it.
Not in time for anyone to do anything anyway.
Just watch.
