Letter to the Advocate: Fiscal irresponsibility of BOE candidates

Do the BOE candidates that oppose Dr. Starr and plan to vote to terminate his contract upon election understand the fiscal ramifications of this path? Some of these extraneous costs associated with this plan include buying out of his current contract, hiring a consultant to find a replacement, the possible need for an interim superintendent, and then the time for a new person to become acclimated and implement a new direction. These unnecessary costs will further remove resources from the classroom and prevent us from moving our schools forward in a positive manner until this change is completed. Lets be careful for what we wish, and asking what is the cost of rash, politically motivated decision making. Where are the fiscal watch dogs on this issue?
