Broadie McIntyre Demotes Top Ranked Principal to Make Room for Corporate Leadership Trainees

With an anonymous gift (is that a Broad smell or Gates?) and RttT money, UTK and Knox County Schools have been churning out corporate-trained school administrators since 2011.  Jim McIntyre, KCS Broad-trained Superintendent, needs to place these new and inexperienced administrators in order to satisfy the oligarch who is funding the "leadership academy."  Here is pic of Tennessee's oil executive governor with McIntyre and one of the "academy's graduating classes.
