Seattle has a hard time holding on to a school superintendent. But it isn't unique. It's a hard job with a very short tenure.

Like football coaches and baseball managers, superintendents face opposition and criticism from many quarters.

Zithri Ahmed Saleem, director of education at Technology Access Foundation; Yalonda Gill Masundire, co-president of Community Parents For Public Schools, Seattle; Kimberly Mitchell is the Founder and CEO of Inquiry Partners.
