Jeff Woods takes the Dean administration line and suggests Metro Schools drop its director search:

It's time to give it up. Instead, the board is talking about signing the new schools director to a three- or four-year contract. When Mayor Karl Dean takes control of the district next year--an event that's almost inevitable--then we probably will wind up buying out this contract to get rid of this superintendent. That's wasting money when the district is facing spending cuts and layoffs
