No.1 Traits for new Kingston Superintendent --tough cost-cutter & union negotiator
The No.1 Traits for the new Kingston Schools Superintendent should be a tough cost-cutter, and teacher-union negotiator, who will deliver Zero Tax increases ever year for the next five years. Unfortunately, the other board members are not thinking of the taxpayers and the local economy. If you are not emphasizing the plight of the local taxpayers, you are guaranteeing that except for a select few, your high school graduates will never return to this area to live, work and raise a family. Think about it!

Instead of a Visionary with a Vision, we want a Realist with a Plan in the Kingston Schools! The prospective superintendent must be a realist and realize that in NY State, teachers' unions run the schools via contract work rules, pay, benefit and pension increases. In Kingston, we have been closing schools and laying off teachers due to escalating, generous teacher contracts. The No.1 Traits for the new Kingston Schools Superintendent should be a tough cost-cutter, and teacher-union negotiator, who will deliver Zero Tax increases every year for the next five years. The new Superintendent must keep in mind the local taxpayers and the local economy. If you are not emphasizing the plight of the local taxpayers, you are guaranteeing that except for a select few, your high school graduates will never return to this area to live, work and raise a family. This will result in the closing of more school buildings. This downward spiral of lower enrollments, larger classes, and larger teacher contracts is going on right in front of our eyes. Please hire a realist with a plan to save our taxpayers so we save our schools.
