Is ASD Superintendent Selling Out To The Highest Bidder?

Sure sounds like it if he can land the job.

The Morning Call
Thomas Parker, the fourth superintendent in 10 years to lead Allentown schools, applies for job in Nashville
"Allentown School District Superintendent Thomas Parker, who is in the middle of his five-year contract, has applied for a job leading Nashville, Tennessee, schools. Parker is one of 19 people who applied for the superintendent job of Metro Nashville Public Schools, according to The Tennessean newspaper. The district is expected to narrow the number to five....

Before receiving the Allentown job, he was superintendent of schools in Ecorse, Mich., a small financially distressed district outside Detroit with about 1,000 students."

Was this job just a steeping stone for this 40 year old's career?
Sure seems like it. Nobody applies for another job just for the fun of it as he tends to want us to believe.

It seems to me some of these jobs ought to come with a financial penalty if someone doesn't fulfill their contract. Let's say they only get 75% of their salary and the other 25% when they fully complete their contract at the end of five years in the form of a lump sum. I'm tired of these guys pulling this crap on us.

      As far as superintendent Parker.. check this link out. It might explain why he left Michigan to come here in 2017. He may or may not have done wrong, but previously it was a financially troubled school district that lost a large important grant which would have made things very difficult again. Read the link why the grant was pulled.... (federal and state investigation).

      Fitzgerald, what a piece of work. He just withdrew his name in January for police commissioner in Baltimore after being fired in Fort Worth this past November. Looks like Baltimore got wise to him. His lawyer said he took the Philadelphia job while he pursues a lawsuit against Fort Worth.

    It is my belief, administrators and other managers who are inadequate and/or unwilling to work hard to solve a difficult situation, will try to keep moving from one place to another to avoid true accountability.

    When you are ‘in over your head’ keep changing jobs and skate your way through many years of employment. No one gives you any grief for the first year, or two. Then, when the heat gets put on, start seeking a new company. Rinse and repeat.
