The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board has started to discuss the process for hiring a new superintendent. Business Report Publisher Rolfe McCollister says the board has an opportunity to leave a legacy by hiring a dynamic and visionary leader. “There is a lot at stake here for kids,” McCollister says. “Many of the arguments are about what the ‘adults’ and the unions want. That is of little concern to me. I hope the board agrees. Leadership, creativity and vision will be key qualities to look for in hiring the right superintendent. Let’s pray the board is up to the challenge and gets it right for children.” The publisher also discusses the need for the public to get the facts about the number of state workers, and he emphasizes the importance to Baton Rouge of bringing back Bayou Country Superfest.
