School board to Burns: You think you can quit on us? You’re –

The Wake school board has called a special, closed-door meeting to discuss whether Superintendent Del Burns, who resigned in protest effective June 30, should be replaced before then. Yes, but with whom would they replace him? (Insert amusing nominations here.)

The meeting is Tuesday, 5 p.m. at Leesville High School, just prior to the public hearing in the HS auditorium on the subject of year-round schools — it begins at 6:30.

Just a guess, but there’s sure to be four votes against canning Burns prematurely (Hill, Maloney, McLaurin, Sutton). One more — Debra Goldman? — and he stays.
