“Huff also guided the district through a major school consolidation effort.”

So he came in, jacked everything up, and is bailing before the bad idea implodes. We saw this recently with South Bend too!

It won’t matter at all. There will be a long line of equally worthy people in line to take his place. Then the school will continue to spend our tax money and fail to educate our kids.
