For the sake of the more than 24,000 Pittsburgh Public School students and the City, we urge members of the school board to freeze the hiring of Dr. Anthony Hamlet for a reasonable amount of time to allow the school board to properly review and consider his candidacy in light of the issues raised by his resume and by the recent reports from the media.  In particular, we are concerned about alleged untruthful resume statements, potential plagiarism, and claims of operational experience that may not be true.  We are all in agreement that our students need an excellent leader and we hope the board takes the necessary time to be sure that we have chosen the right leader.
