... That's one piece of news that can be gleaned for Mike Towle's column in the print edition of today's Star News. No, it's not online. But, Towle does discuss his recent lunch with Phillips and the salad Phillips ate.
Oh, and there's this: Towle believes that Sumner County may be running Phillips off. What with continued budget battles and past decisions by the School Board (like lawsuits with the SCEA that the Board lost). That is to say, there may be a district out there that pays as well or better and wants a visionary leader. Sumner County doesn't seem so sure ... yet.
Towle notes Phillips' boundless enthusiasm for the school system. He applauds his focus on technology investment and theme academies. He's just not sure our community is sending the message that we're ready for all that. Maybe just fine is good enough. Or, maybe it is simply the County Commission standing in the way of excellence.
In any case, it seems clear that Towle is concerned that good salad alone won't be enough to keep Del Phillips in Sumner County.
