I believe that the Madison Board of Education (BOE) should rescind its decision to give Gary Lane tenure based on one or more of the following reasons: 

1) Mr. Lane has only been in his position for 7 months, and he has not had time to demonstrate his ability to effectively fulfill his job responsibilities, which include managing the budget and working effectively with a wide constituency, not just the BOE. 

2) With the district facing at least $1.2M in budget cuts to accommodate state mandated decisions, providing tenure to an untested, new senior staff member is inappropriate. 

3) The BOE has not received the benefit of thoughtful consideration by a permanent superintendent, as a search has been underway for the superintendent for the past 7 months.

7 months is way too soon for tenure. its irresponsible to lock someone in when we are staring down such massive budget cuts. do better for the kids.

Ridiculous. We dont even have a permanent super yet. Stop rushing these decisions before the money is totally gone.
