Albany School Board Recall Election

For the Albany, CA School Board members (cc-ed above) that may vote Tues. 10/23 to illegally rig the Superintendent selection process to favor one internal candidate, it is time for the voters to consider a town recall election.  The most important mandate of the School Board is to pick and direct the Superintendent.  Why would the Board want to pre-select the next person for the job without interviewing the best qualified available candidates?

What organization have you heard of that has an important position open and tries to change the rules so as NOT to consider the best qualified candidates available?  Even if some Board members can find other School Boards that have engaged in this type of nepotism in Alameda County before that does not make it legal?  That does not make it right?

Signed,

P.S. In a County with a lot of people of color and an isolated segregated town from the bulk of that Black and Latino population it is mighty convenient to set up a process where Blacks and Latinos outside the town will not be able to apply for the School Superintendent position, don't you think?
