What’s the thinking thus far on DeKalb’s choice to replace Michael Thurmond? R. Stephen Green certainly has the education background that Thurmond lacked.

As the AJC reported:

Green is currently in the middle of a five-year contract with Kansas City, which includes a three-year contract and two one-year extensions that would keep him there until June 2018. He started with the district in August 2011 as interim superintendent. He took the job permanently in 2012.

As this video shows, Dr. Green is not afraid to shake a leg. The question for DeKalb is whether he will be willing to shake up the status quo. His exuberance in this video reminds me of APS school chief Meria Carstarphen who clearly loves being with students.
