The AJC is reporting that the new and improved Clayton county Board of Education fired their superintendent on Friday.

Interesting how that played out.

The superintendent they fired was brought in on a temporary basis to clean up the mess made by the old board.

By all accounts, he was almost as bad, a huge control freak with an ego to match (I remember he "recalled" every single 2008 high school diploma in the county because it didn't have HIS signature on them, cost them $$$ in reprint costs).

Gov. Perdue wouldn't let them fire the guy until they'd cleaned up their act enough to reapply for certification. They filed their re-cert request on Thursday and fired him on Friday...even though he had less than 90 days left on a non-renewable contract.

Guess they wanted to send a message!
