We, the taxpayers, don't actually hire or fire Margaret Smith. The five school board members have that sole responsibility. We just pay her exorbitant salary and benefits. The public's wish to send her packing must be voiced loudly and consistently and on the public record. The pressure must be applied to the individual school board members. A good case can be made for her dismissal as others here have stated. But it is only the majority of those school board members who can make it happen. You need to bend their ears at every turn and threaten their re-election hopes. The Superintendent has overstayed her welcome. New direction and leadership are needed before there is nothing left to lead.
