200K for the new RUSD Superintendent

It's a good deal if you can get it:  200K for a job for which you have no track record or other indication of competence. 

Why is the RUSD board doing this?  My guess is desperation.  They need someone there fast.  Further delay exhibits their incompetence.

The fact of the matter is that Unified's problems are structural.  Unified is organized to to fail.  The new superintendent won't be doing anything about that situation and will also fail.
