My Comment: It appears that negotiations had reached a sticking point on several issues of the contract but I have to wonder if all of Maureen Sullivan's negative blogging had an effect as well. If so, congratulations to Maureen Sullivan for getting her way despite being out voted 7-2. Real Democracy in action. Now, no qualified person in a good performing district will in their right mind ever apply for the Hoboken BOE Superintendent position. Does this mean Elnardo Webster, Carrie Gilliard's favorite from the land of patronage plums in Newark moves near the top of the new list? Time will tell.
Both Sulllivan and Gilliard bickered about $20,000-$25,000 per year on a key position but yet again fail to see the bigger picture to the detriment of Hoboken Schools. Now the search for Hoboken's next Superintendent will resume with the situation much less in favor of Hoboken than before. ◦
