Looks like some of his achievements have pretty much happened in DC already.

+1.

Quite strange hiire

You quoted the wrong person, but it doesn't matter because it makes you feel superior to judge others.

+1 million

Should we start taking bets on whether his writing abilities are as bad as the Wilson principal's?

"She might as well had stayed. " And you have the nerve to criticize anyone's writing. PULEEZE!!!

If he were white with the same qualifications, he would not have been hired.

I share that same suspicion. 2 years in Oakland, you fail, and that means you can take over DCPS?

Make little sense

The real question is where will he send his kids?

I would at least give up this obsession with ivy-trained and advanced degrees. Part of the problem with the central office right now is that there are many young super-stars from Harvard trying to reorganize and run departments. Unfortunately they don't have much real experience with urban schools or with actual teaching or running of schools. I say at least give this guy a chance. Sometimes experience is much more valuable than fancy degrees.

I fully agree that the core qualification is experience, proven results, not any fancy degree.

The problem is that I see little experience and no results. I agree with previous PP who said perhaps the Mayor just wanted to hire someone green to use him as a marionette.

He sounds great to me. - Asian-American, grad of a top university with an advanced degree, two kids in Title I DCPS schools. I work in education, believe it or not, with many extremely competent black people. Take your racist bs to Breitbart you altright nitwits.

+1 except I'm white with kids in what DCUM would call middling charters.

He will have a 2 year contract for $180k per year. What qualifications did Kaya have over him? At least he was an assistant superintendent and superintendent.

$180 per year? For a Superintendent/Chancellor????? That's what building principals make! Wasn't Kaya making much more--$280+?

What's with the low salary? I thought the $400+ sounded a bit high but $180?????

Given the position? Yes! Otherwise, make the same as a building principal with a lot less stress and responsibility.
