I have two possible solutions to the school superintend quandary . . .

From what I have been told through the years, materials and services for the school districts in the State of Kentucky must have bids submitted before purchases are made. Why not do this with the school superintendents? They can be required to pass a qualification test before submitting their salary requirements.

Or . . . why not have the superintendent position be up for public election as are the sheriff, judge, jailer and other offices? In this situation also, the candidates would be required to pass a certification test before putting their names on the ballot, the way PVA candidates must do.
