David Averett, Acting Superintendent

The WISD School Board has installed David Averett as the Acting Superintendent following Dr. Hollingsworth’s departure. This is concerning. First and foremost, no one knows anything about Mr. Averett. I have asked around, the only real information is that he has connections to the School Board President. Second, he is evidently prone to emotional outbursts and ad hominem attacks against the very constituency he proclaims to serve.

As I was getting nowhere asking around about the man’s background, I decided to open direct lines of communication. I sent my first letter to Mr. Averett as a sort of olive branch, simply asking him to apologize for or explain away his remarks about us, lowly constituents.

We’ll see how it goes.
