edu Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 But has qualified is he? He apparently has worked his way up in Paulding Co. in a few years. What has he done to show he can handle the issues? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What has he done to show he can handle the issues? What do you count as a few? He has been here 13 years and before that he was in Cobb County. I think he is very qualified for the job.

sutler Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 What do you count as a few? He has been here 13 years and before that he was in Cobb County. I think he is very qualified for the job. How many years was he a classroom teacher and what did he teach? Where are his degrees from and what are they in? Link to post Share on other sites
zoo Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 How many years was he a classroom teacher and what did he teach? Where are his degrees from and what are they in? I dont know how to post links/quotes but I just went to the pcsd website and there is information on Cliff Cole. He was in cobb for ten years before moving to paulding. He did teach in cobb along with other positions it appears. He came to paulding in 97 and has been a assistant princiapal/principal and I think it said he has been assistant super since 2007. It also listed his degrees/etc. Good information if your interested in finding out more about him. He is more then qualified and couldnt be a better pick in my opinion. I think it will be a nice change and I wish him the best of luck! Link to post Share on other sites

bellaprincess Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about Cliff Cole. Now about the BOE in general.... Cliff was a great choice now, as he was a year and 1/2 ago. Why was he passed over at that time and the position given to someone who was in a position to retire shortly thereafter? I am sure that Cliff was as qualified then as he is now. Are there not procedures in place for looking for a new super? No feelers went out, no one was able to submit their application for the job. A position comes open and they fill it immediately? Is this how it is supposed to work? As stated, I like Cole, but I am just not sure about how or why things are done at our BOE? I am curious. (BTW: All these questions have been sent to the BOE, though I will not hold my breath on a response, so I thought I might get some insight here) Link to post Share on other sites

hart408 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Do I remember superintendent being an elected position back in the day or did I dream that? Link to post Share on other sites
hart408 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Maybe they are trying to beat this: The announcement comes on the heels of a new state bill that, if passed, would make it illegal for school systems to give raises to superintendents while teachers are being furloughed. I think Cliff Cole is a good choice, I think I just missed the "choice" part... Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyJ Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Do I remember superintendent being an elected position back in the day or did I dream that? Yes, the superintendent was elected. It would alternate between Carl Scoggins and Walter Abney for many years. They were each a great superintendent. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just a little upset that I had to get this info from p.com. How did everyone else find out about it? I believe that people attended the meeting where it was announced. We got a call from an official confirming it immediately. I am not sure if this is the type of info that the BOE would send mass emails or automated phone calls out for.

Lady Raider Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Who was the last elected superintendent? I believe Mrs.Magill was the last one I remember voting for, and she had it for a while, after her I think the BOE just voted on it them selves. Link to post Share on other sites
