Merchant Quoted in Greensboro News & RecordMAURICE GREEN SELECTED AS GREENSBORO SCHOOLS SUPERINTENDENTGreensboro News & Record (July 27, 2008) - Trent Merchant, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board member, said Green brings a pragmatic, realistic approach to public education. "He understands that superintendents have to balance political considerations with execution," Merchant said. "I think that is going to be one of his great talents." Gone are the days of assuming that former educators can best lead school systems, said Merchant, who recruits executives for businesses and other organizations. "We have recycled the same usual suspects from system to system who are rehashing the same ideas," Merchant said. "I hope people will be patient with Mo. If they can be comfortable with being uncomfortable over the short term, they are going to get a much more workable situation."
