Respondent denies those allegations. As a preliminary matter, I note that petitioner has not joined CSB 27 or the individual selected as its superintendent as parties to this appeal, even though petitioner seeks to annul CSB 27's selection of that individual. Therefore, the appeal must be dismissed for failure to join them. The appeal must also be dismissed on the merits. Petitioner alleges in a conclusory manner that the individual in question does not have an adequate academic background in elementary and secondary education.
Petitioner supplies no evidence regarding that individual's academic background.
Without evidence to support this claim, it must be rejected. Petitioner's contentions that the candidate selected has insufficient experience as a principal and supervising staff are also rejected. The criteria adopted by CSB 27 do not require service as an appointed principal as a prerequisite for consideration for the superintendent's position. In any event, the record shows that the individual in question served as an acting principal in two of respondent's schools and as such, supervised numerous staff members. I have reviewed petitioner's remaining contentions and find them without merit.
