Irony defined?

Once upon a time, there was a gigantic hullabaloo because members of an outgoing School Committee felt obligated to complete the Superintendent's review and contract before their terms expired.  Nothing nefarious -- it just made more sense that the review be completed by the folks who had actually been involved with the work under review.  It also made sense to have the contract resolved BEFORE Town Meeting -- so folks could get an honest view of what they would be funding.

Much noise was made about "rushing the deal", the Editor of The Cape Cod Times went out of his way to write a bitchy editorial and went even further to write an even bitchier (and even more inaccurate) piece for one of his industry trade journals.

Incoming Committee members were adamant that they should be allowed to do the review -- even though they had no experience with the Superintendent (or even in doing employee reviews!)

Two years later... 

The next Superintendent receives his review on the last regularly scheduled School Committee meeting of the term and an extra Executive Session is added after Town Meeting on the night before the election, presumably to discuss the Superintendent's contract.

And .... silence.

I am not saying it's wrong. 

I am, not saying a good review or contract are not deserved.

I am not questioning their judgement ---- I agree with their actions completely.

I just find it humorous.
