Will Dr. Carlos Nelson Finally Be Sheffield School Super?

 

For the past nine years Dr. Carlos Nelson has been Deputy Superintendent of Sheffield City Schools. During that time, he has been bypassed twice for the super's position. 

First, the Sheffield Board of Education saw fit to hire Keith Lankford. During Dr. Lankford's time at the helm, he mainly promoted Inspiration Landing and looked for a better position. He lasted three years.

Then came Keith Davis who was, judging from our e-mails, almost universally disliked for his waffling and pandering personality. He's also lasted three years.

Dr. Nelson is certainly more than qualified and, more importantly, not about to go running off for a number of years. This is his home. If Sheffield doesn't promote Dr. Nelson this time, what new incompetence will the next three years see?
