Board delays superintedent decision
Springfield City Schools board members will take another week to make a decision on who will be the next superintendent, board President Donna Picklesimer announced today.
The board has three high-quality candidates and it is not ready to choose one, she said.
Board members will make additional calls in the next week to “distinguish from really great to excellent” between Butler Tech CEO Bob Sommers, Lakewood Superintendent David Estrop and Austintown Superintendent Douglas Heuer, said Picklesimer.
It’s not even definite that the board will make only one site visit to the final selection, which was the original plan, she said. The board could visit two or more candidates if they can’t reach a decision.
Picklesimer said the board is happy to have the problem of too many good candidates.
I’ve seen more than one board do a search down to the finalists and start all over because they weren’t happy with the slate at the end. Cincinnati, where Estrop is also one of the finalists, comes to mind.

The one who feeds you the most BS is definitely the best candidate. Don’t break with tradition.
