Lowry a candidate for top jobs
Rebecca Lowry, an assistant superintendent at Dayton schools, appears to be aggressively looking for work — and getting interest from some interesting places.
In Ohio, she’s gotten a look in Lorain near Cleveland and in Clark County’s Northwestern school district.
Last week, she became a finalist in Jackson, Miss. and in the course of an Internet search today I discovered Lowry also was a finalist in Pinellas County, Fla., near Tampa.
Given all the interest in Lowry elsewhere it’s interesting that the Dayton school board never seemed to express interest in Lowry as a candidate here.

Hmm, she withdrew from the Jackson job- hmmm. http://www.wlbt.com/Global/story.asp?S=8739211&nav=2CSf I wonder how things are going in Florida? By the way, nothing says she’s a ‘finalist’ only that she submitted an application- at least according to what I’d found.

Just curious…why is she not well regarded? From all accounts it seems she did many positive things in DPS. Is it a personality issue?

RE Brathwaite’s resignation. It is only in DPS’s best interest. You wouldn’t believe the number of emails and calls I got regarding her departure. People I know are not sorry to see her go.

It is also interesting to note that Dr. Brathwaite submitted her resignation at the board meeting last week.

Ahhh, but did she express an interest in the position of superintendent of DPS? Maybe, maybe not, I don’t know. What I do know is that she is bright, articulate, personable, approachable and very open. Unfortunately, these do not seem to be qualities valued in DPS administrators. I wouldn’t be surprised if she never applied for the job…too many politics involved at this time. I wish her the best of luck in her job search and would hate to lose her in Dayton.
