If Wilson School District’s last superintendent, Rudy Ruth, was a paragon of longevity, working for the district for more than 30 years, the new one is a job changer, working at four districts in the last 10 years.
I’m glad newspapers have reported about this important man, the new Wilson schools chief, Curtis Baker. I’m betting he might like to stay in Wilson and has answers to our questions.
Baker worked at his last job, as superintendent of the Moon School District, near Pittsburgh, for two years.
The Moon School Board voted to put him on paid leave in December.
Funny the Reading Eagle hasn’t mentioned that.
In any case, reading between the lines of coverage by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it seems a newly elected majority tossed Baker out because they didn’t like his ideas.
In response, Baker has sued the district and seven school board members, claiming a broken contract.
