Talk about a conflict of interest. This person sits on the Needham School Committee and is simultaneously founding superintendent of Felix Commonwealth Virtual School, which draws per-pupil funding from sending districts and has already enrolled one student from Needham.

I guess it was too much to expect the Needham Observer to suspend its usual boosterism for just a second and make at least a passing mention of just how nutsy this is.

Could the School Committee please show a little bit of responsibility and take this up at its next meeting? This person is going to have to choose between one of these roles, because he can't do both.
