Maryland law requires that school superintendents have a background in teaching and school administration, so Tenne could get the job only if Bernard Sadusky, the interim state school superintendent, granted him a waiver. The former superintendent, Nancy S. Grasmick, did not approve such a waiver in her 20 years on the job.

But in recent years, nontraditional candidates have become leaders of major school systems around the nation. Gen. John Stanford became Seattle's superintendent, and Army Brig. Gen. Anthony Tata was made superintendent in Wake County, N.C., in December 2010. The Broad Foundation, which operates a national training program for school leaders, has had several candidates from the armed services.

Leis said nontraditional candidates have become more common in the past decade.

I believe that last statement is one of the reasons for our educational problems in this country, for at least ten years.
