In my effort to better understand the history of elected vs appointed superintendents in TN, I came across the article in TSBA's BoardTalk, May 2008, pg 2 "Breaking News:
Elected superintendent amendments proposed". (http://www.tsba.net/publications/boardtalk/BoardTalk-0508.pdf). From that article, I began to read other blogs about this issue. The following websites are interesting, especially schoolmatters. While it applies to larger a school system the 4 pages of comments provided an array of opinions/thoughts.

I am sure there are other sites. If you find any, please share. As we go forward, it is important to understand the issues from both sides.

You are so right. No one needs to have complete authority. Most people wouldn't want it because of the complete responsibility of your decisions.
