Should the Entire School Committee Resign?

Is the chairman of the School Committee right that the whole board should just resign and let voters chose a new set of representatives?

That was the pitch EuRim Chun made Thursday as Marblehead's education system continues to roil. Last month, Superintendent Greg Maass announced he would resign. Maass cited his fractured relationship with a dysfunctional school board as his reason for moving on.

Marblehead is in the position of having to hire a sixth new superintendent since 2005. Many point fingers at a fractious School Committee as the source of the inability to retain school leaders.

Here's some Marbleheaders are reacting to Chun's call for mass resignations:

Sandy Lane Cross wrote on the Marblehead Patch Facebook page, "It takes a lot of courage and leadership to make that suggestion."

James Jeffrey Lewis replied, "Actually, not so much when your popularity (earned) is as high as hers. I suspect she knows she would be re-elected."

YourTown Marblehead reports that School Committee members Dick Nohelty and Jon Lederman either already offered their resignations or were amenable to stepping down. The Boston Globe outlet reports Tom Connolly said he would not resign and Kathy Leonardson said she would run again in the town elections next month.

What's your take? Should sitting School Committee members step down to wipe the slate clean?
