Sounds like a great choice for this district. Very impressed they went for the best candidate and not fall into the "we gotta drink from the diversity cup" and go with less qualified. Hopefully those years are over in all businesses.

I wish you all the best, Mary Shelton. I had some wonderful experiences as a drama and English teacher in the district years ago. Of course, I had some bad days too.
From time to time, I run into former students. Many have grown into responsible parents and professionals. Some have teens of their own. They ask if I am still teaching, and often apologize for those classmates who were troublemakers. I particularly love bumping into the balding men and full-figured women who ask, “Did you used to be my English teacher?"
If I linger in their minds after all these years, I did much more than grade papers...I hope.

@Linda "we gotta drink from the diversity cup" and go with less qualified" .. really, that comment is lame and senseless.
Mary was best qualified .. period.
You seem to be a frustrated individual, who was not smart or industrious and now is facing tough competition in the workforce. Good luck living in negativity!
