Parkland Board Hosts Meeting to Name New Interim CEO. Bob Smith, a retired vice president of Tenet Healthcare, a for-profit health care chain, will likely be named interim CEO of Parkland today. The board is having a special meeting this morning to vote on whether or not the 60-year-old Plano resident will get the job, which would pay him $60,000 a month. He doesn’t want the gig full-time. His contract would run for four months.

You’ll remember that she’s the married mother of three who resigned from the school after administrators heard about the incidents in May 2011.
