support the extension – though for different
reasons.

“I want to see results,” Searcy said, refer-
ring to the missing school performance data
in his explanation for voting no. Though he
felt he had enough information to evaluate
Dr. Rendell, he didn’t believe he had enough
data to extend the contract.

For her part, Zorc said teachers and union
members don’t get the kind of two-year job
security the board was extending to Ren-
dell, so the superintendent shouldn’t either.
“That’s just part of life,” she said.

The apparent swing vote on the issue was
School Board member Dale Simchick, who
voiced concerns about renewing the con-
tract through June 2019. Ultimately, she said
the timing of the contract’s expiration was
the issue, noting that if they didn’t approve
the extension, the School District could find
itself without a superintendent in June 2018
– when the current contract ends – and with-
out time enough to find a new leader before
the 2018-2019 school year.

Board members pointed to problems
with personnel and communication as their
main causes for concern.

Simchick also questioned Rendell’s hir-
ing practices. She pointed to his recruiting
of staff from outside the Indian River Coun-
ty School District and asked whether there
truly are no qualified personnel within the
School District’s ranks. “I would rather see
more promotion from within,” she said.

Other board members were more sup-
portive of Rendell.

“I think Dr. Rendell has a good eye for
talent,” board member Shawn Frost said. “I
think we’re on the right track.”

Despite his no vote, Searcy said the dis-
trict is better off now than it was a year ago.

“We are making progress and that man is
leading us,” Searcy said.

Had the board voted to let Rendell go, it
would have had plenty of reasons at hand.
These include his disastrous attempt to

charges that were refuted in a scathing rul-

at Vero Beach High School that resulted in
many students who didn’t cheat losing valu-
able educational certifications; and the exo-
dus of teachers from troubled schools such
as Gifford Middle.

Rendell did not comment during the eval-
uation and contract extension discussions,
but the agenda noted that he “recommend-
ed approval” of his contract extension. 

Dealer: South; Vulnerable: East-West
This week’s South hand, with its 17 points, good five-card suit, two aces and two kings, is
too strong for a 15-17 no-trump. The Bidding:

In three no-trump, South has seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST OPENING

king and plays a diamond to his queen. West wins with the king and leads another heart. Q Hearts
South takes that and cashes the diamond ace, being horrified to see West discard a club
or spade. Suddenly the contract is unmakable.

South could afford one diamond loser, but not two. He should take the first trick and
make the unusual play of cashing the diamond ace. Here, the king comes tumbling down,
so South can continue diamonds to gain an overtrick. But if the king does not appear,
declarer crosses to dummy and plays a diamond toward his hand. As long as West does
not have king-fourth or -fifth, the contract is secure.
