In the L.A. school system it's known as "The Dance of the Lemons." Incompetent administrators can't be fired without great difficulty, so they just shuffle them to another school. Then, after they've screwed up that one, they're shipped to another, while a lemon from another school comes in to replace them.
Thank the NEA and the LA teacher's union for that problem...
A couple of particularly ineffective LAUSD admins of my (unfortunate) acquaintance come to mind - Allen (sp?) Wexler and Marta Bin. Both would probably have done the exact same thing as this idiot did.
