Yep, I haven't posted in a week. Where have I been? Really long story...no, I mean, REALLY long story. Not sure yet if it'll have a happy ending. Maybe when I can figure it out either way, I'll share it on this blog.
Anyway... this article tells the story of HoCo Schools Superintendent announcing his plans to step down. Reading posts on a certain listserve concerning Howard County public school education issues (I'll leave it to you, dear reader, to deduce the address of the listserve) it sounded as if Dr. Cousin had decided to embed himself at headquarters on MD 108.
Au contraire, mon frere! All Dr. Cousin says of his planned date to leave is that it for sure won't be any later than the last day of his contract in June, 2012. He doesn't specify how soon he could possibly be leaving, which is a smart move on his part.
I accept the fact that Dr. Cousin is able to work full time and that he's able to ably contribute in his position by doing so. So unless his medical condition deteriorates, I'm all in favor of letting him continue to do his job. Meanwhile, what will apparently be a nationwide search will be undertaken in order to find a new Superintendent.
I truly wish this had gone better for Dr. Cousin. But all that can be hoped now is that he has a productive remainder of his tenure, and more importantly, that he regain his full health.
