Pittsburgh school board to meet again on superintendent
PITTSBURGH (AP) – A Pittsburgh public schools official said another meeting will be held Monday on questions about the ‘resume’ of the newly hired superintendent.
Forty-three-year-old Anthony Hamlet was hired last month and begins his new $210,000-a-year job July 1.
Hamlet said on his ‘resume’ that two Palm Beach County, Florida schools improved their state ratings from “F” to “C” when he worked at each as principal.
But two newspapers contend one school didn’t improve at all and the other improved only from a “D” to a “C.”
Hamlet has also been accused of using lines taken from other sources without attribution. He hasn’t commented on those allegations but has defended his record.
School board solicitor Ira Weiss said a preliminary meeting was held Friday and members would meet again Monday.
