Sea of Troubles for NJ superintendents

Slings and arrows continue to pierce the sore hides of New Jersey’s superintendents. The Star-Ledger reports on a business administrator at Delaware Valley Regional High School who sued the superintendent and the school board there over charges that she was fired for being a whistle-blower. Apparently, Christina Sharkey, the B.A., told the board that Superintendent Robert Walsh funneled district funds to his own wallet.

“Thereafter, plaintiff (Sharkey) was subjected to harassment and a hostile work environment,” according to the complaint.

More evidence that local governance leads to inefficiency and corruption as the zeitgeist of New Jersey hammers home rule?
