Brad Hansen, Montana

qualifications?? internship with OSD, living in Montana for 2 years, out of Deaf Education and wanted to come back.

Terry Gregersen

qualifications?? dorm counselor, California School for the Deaf, Riverside and director for a mainstreaming program in Seattle, WA (he came from a deaf family of brothers, oral education background), currently UNemployed (schools aren’t out YET but unemployed)

Patty Togioka

qualifications?? currently a principal of a middle school in Salem Oregon area, but taking big cut in pay to take this position? Husband was teacher at OSD, but now teaching in one of middle schools teaching math. (PS, I am waiting for verification that it is her.)

Does this look anything like ODE doing meddling and screening to force the interview team to accept Patty Togioka when Mulholland is still available? I had been informed she applied for this position with encouragement from the Deaf community. (Did she?) Did ODE go shopping around for undesirable candidates? Doesn’t this look like similiar to what IKJ did with his protege?
