The BOE chair Lance Mizumoto is proving that he is incapable of making good decisions. Under his leadership, the BOE allowed Castle Foundation to influence the superintendent search when they withdrew  funds to conduct a national superintendent search after finding out Darrel Galera would be applying for the superintendent position.  No way Castle Foundation would chance Mr. Galera becoming the next superintendent because they knew he would not be controlled or influenced by them like current superintendent Kathryn Matayoshi.  Unbelievable that CASTLE FOUNDATION was given  authority to SELECT and HIRE the company to conduct the superintendent search. That means, the company screened the 92 applicants, whittled them to the top eight (8) and provided the BOE Selection Committee the names to interview.  CASTLE is controlling the selection behind the scenes. BOE chair Lance is either in kahoots or incompetent for allowing this to occur.  Either way, it is irresponsible and he needs to go!!
