Brathwaite not picked in Akron

By selliott | Thursday, February 28, 2008, 11:12 AM

Debra Brathwaite

Akron school have picked an internal candidate as superintendent, passing on Dayton Deputy Superintendent Debra Brathwaite, who had been one of three finalists for the job.

This was Brathwaite’s third try for a superintendent’s job, having been a finalist before in Toledo and Lorain. She expect to complete a doctorate this summer and told me earlier this month she is ready to be a superintendent.

I think the Dayton school board has liked the idea of having a capable No. 2 ready behind Percy Mack should make look around again. After being passed over in Mobile, Ala., last year, Mack has repeatedly told me his is not looking for a job and plans to remain in Dayton for some time.
