To the Editor:

I am confused. If Charles Dumais is such a great principal that he got hired away by another school district as a superintendent, why wasn't he considered for our  next superintendent of schools?  Was he asked?  If he was asked, did he refuse?

The way John Reed extolled his virtues, he would have ended our search.  I wish someone could explain this whole thing.  It doesn't make sense to me.
