Actually I think Rosenlee does represent many DOE teachers who feel these two candidates are inexperienced outsiders with little to no teaching experience who have no clue on leading the DOE.  Like MC Greenwood chosen by Kirk Caldwell's wife Donna Tanoue and ex HGEA boss Russell Okata to be president of UH, get the feeling these two 'pledge loyalty' to the BOE and will be no more than an extension to the BOE's will.  Like MRC, nothing more than a figurehead and will NOT be beholden to HSTA.  Another concern is Rosenlee himself.  He has gained a whole lot of weight since getting elected head of HSTA.  Does he have a health problem?
