Sun "Two other finalists,
George Garcia, superintendent of the Tucson

to Attea stating he was no longer interested."

Fleming rejected by Clark County School Board, not a team player and concern over leadership style
Dec 08, 1999
Terry Webster, The Las Vegas
Sun "One superintendent
candidate for the Clark County School District was
eliminated by the School Board on Tuesday, leaving
two hopefuls in the running. James Fleming,
superintendent of the Capistrano Unified School
District in San Juan Capistrano, Calif., was
scratched from the board's list of finalists ...
Board President Ruth Johnson and board members
Mary Beth Scow, Susan Brager, Shirley Barber and
Lois Tarkanian all named Fleming as the candidate
they were the least interested in ... Barber said
she didn't support Fleming because she prefers
someone with more of a team approach. For Johnson,
it was a matter of fit ... I think it was just his
leadership style.' "

Fleming rejected as "too bureaucratic," Fleming dodges the allegation, says "bureacrat" means nothing
Dec 06, 1999
Terry Webster, The Las Vegas
Sun "One of the main
objections the board presented to Fleming during
his final interview was a perception that he seems
too bureaucratic. Fleming said he would address
that by "humanizing" all of the so-called
bureaucrats in the school district. This could be
done by placing articles about school executives
in school newsletters or magazines. Bureaucrat is
a term that is overused and means nothing, he
added."

Fleming criticized as a name-dropper, bureaucrat, too self-promoting
Dec 02, 1999
Terry Webster, The Las Vegas
Sun "The strengths and
weaknesses of all of the candidates were aired
during public interviews held by the School Board
and the Superintendent Search Process Committee.
Following his interviews, some of the criticisms
made of Fleming were that he was a name-dropper
and a bureaucrat. Some also said he was too
self-promoting. But Fleming said he sees nothing
wrong with demonstrating he can do the job."
