As a relative outsider to this process, could I add just one observation? I think that everyone in this issue handled the media aspects poorly. Firstly, Mr. Farmer should not have relied on just e-mail to communicate his desires on how to handle the media on this issue. Since he must have known that the high school personnel would be especially targeted, he should have picked up the phone and called Mr. Sullivan and had him direct all media inquiries to his office. Then he should have had a prepared statement to hand to the media --- one that had been reviewed by the mayor. Mr. Sullivan, knowing that this issue could be explosive and damaging to the school and the community, should have on his own directed all media inquiries to the superindentant's office for any official comment. The mayor, not having the chance to speak to Mr. Sullivan directly, should have stayed away from charactorizing Mr. Sullivan's comments, instead focusing on the issues of the teen pregnancies itself. The media can be like a runaway train, and the best way to control it is to shut up!
