Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good thing that the Governor and the Mayor were able to step up and provide more money for the School District.
But what's this about the Governor's idea to create a new position, school district managing director, and filling that job with his budget secretary, Michael Masch? According to the Inquirer:
The district used to have a managing director, but several years ago split that job between a chief financial officer and chief operations officer.
Those positions are currently filled by interim appointments. Would those positions both be cut and their separate responsibilities be combined in a managing director? Or would the managing director be created to oversee two positions that perform the jobs that the managing director once had by itself?
