|
WENGNews writes, "WELL, IT LOOKS LIKE GARY NORRIS HAS HIMSELF A NEW JOB STARTING IN JULY. NOT IN NEW MEXICO, NOT IN ARKANSAS, BUT IN WATERLOO, IOWA. THE WATERLOO-CEDAR FALLS COURIER IS REPORTING THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD CHOSE NORRIS ON MONDAY NIGHT TO REPLACE THEIR RETIRING SUPERINTENDANT DEWITT JONES STARTING JULY 1ST. THE IOWA PAPER IS ALSO REPORTING THAT NORRIS’ SALARY FOR HIS FIRST YEAR WILL BE $195,000, WHICH IS A RAISE OF ALMOST $20,000 FROM WHAT THE SARASOTA SCHOOL BOARD IS PAYING HIM. NORRIS HAS LED SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOLS SINCE 2004, BUT HIS REIGN HAS BEEN TEMULTUOUS TO SAY THE LEAST. HE ORIGINALLY RESIGNED BACK IN SEPTEMBER, BUT WAS CONVINCED TO STAY ON. NORRIS WAS REPORTEDLY A FINALIST FOR THE SAME JOB IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, BUT TOOK THIS JOB, TELLING THE COURIER THAT HE HAS A STRONG DESIRE TO WORK WITH A SCHOOL BOARD THAT WANTS TO WORK AS A TEAM ON CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP AND WORK WITH AT-RISK POPULATIONS OF YOUNG PEOPLE. NORRIS HAS SAID HE IS LEAVING DUE TO FAMILY HEALTH REASONS."
