I was not surprised the Mankato school board picked Sheri Allen as the person to offer the superintendent job to. She was a very strong candidate, as were the two others. Allen's Rochester and Big Nine ties working in Austin and Owatonna were pluses. Rochester's district is much larger than Mankato and while she was not the super there, she supervised 54 administrators as assistant super.
I attended the public meetings for all candidates and was impressed with the crowds. All candidates were very impressed with Mankato region and schools, and you could tell they weren't just saying that.
At 6:05 p.m. last night I told our newsroom the school board would pick her and they would pick her that night. Now, one wonders if I should be going to the casino!
