One of my Math Department colleagues has decided to pursue graduate school studies and so we've had to start a search for a replacement. The name of a veteran teacher at a school in San Francisco who lives in the East Bay and has two children under 5 was looking to reduce her commute by working at a school closer to home. This candidate already has an offer in hand from our rival school in the area.
She came to visit us on Thursday and our Headmaster apparently hand delivered an offer and contract Saturday morning. Also on Saturday afternoon, the school held a celebration of Math and had NPR Math Guy Keith Devlin speak about the history of mathematics ability. The candidate showed up.
Will we win or will the other guys win. I could analyze the pros and cons but I don't think it serves any purpose. Keep your fingers crossed.
