Delegation of duties makes perfect sense to me. The unfortunate but truthful fact of education is that a career teacher garners much less in remuneration than does the administrator. Consequently, those who support families will naturally gravitate to admin positions for good or ill. Lots of unprovable innuendo here. I've heard lots of things too; some true, some not. I have heard, for my part, that the Exeter schools are not functioning well. To be honest, neither one really stuck out, imho. But then this is why we have elections, I guess.

And that’s just what Hire always does I’ve noticed! It’s not just for here and now (during election), I believe- that’s his all the time personality. I’ve noticed some other comparisons: - I’ve heard Wheaton was ASKED to leave VUSD, not just “hired me away from my job”... hired away from a job he was asked to leave. So my question is, if he was doing so well, like he claimed then why was he asked to leave? Plus now I’m learning he is just in the business dept of TCOE, not Vidak’s right hand man like he continuously claims. And plus... no endorsement? I think it’s imporant we all learn about who these men are. I’ve done so and it’s apparent who I’m going to vote for, but I learned that through my research and talking with others. We all need to do that for the benefit of our kids. A small- town man doesn’t scare me..... maybe it’s what we need?! In response to Dave M.- Yes, I was there and I agree!

Were I to gauge their overall presence, I found Dr. Wheaton to have been below the mark in comparison to Mr. Hyer. This was disappointing to me, as I happen to believe that he is the better of two good candidates. It should be noted that prior to the event, Mr. Hyer was outside the room greeting the audience, while Dr. Wheaton did not appear to be. If he does not feel it necessary to engage with the voters, he is making a real mistake imho. Did anybody else attend the event on the 27th where Dr. Wheaton and Mr. Hyer appeared?
