References to  are in my mind irrelevant to this discussion. The subject of the article is ''not'' a politician and never has been. Superintendents in New York are chosen by their respective boards of education, in a similar way that university presidents are chosen by a board of trustees or that a CEO is chosen by a board of directors. They are not politically appointed positions nor are they elected positions. The board of ed is a collection of elected individuals from a given district, however the process is non-political. No political parties are represented and the board members are not paid. They serve as volunteers and the superintendents serve as CEOs of their districts
