[quote=Anonymous]It seems that there have been several points that might point to Chancellor Henderson not staying for the long term.

One of the major ones is her status within the constellation of DC government - she is supposedly reporting through the DME to the Mayor, and we know that the Mayor has never expressed true love for her.

I've seen suggestions on other threads here that she won't stay and is trying to make friends with folks in the charter movement as that is a necessity to be part of the NGO/commentariat/consultant universe that will enable her to make the big bucks.

One interesting point here is the "Capital Commitment" that DCPS made under her watch to certain major strides by 2017. I think it's easy to say that the commitments won't be met on the nitty gritty things. However, she will be able to point to improvements.  Does it make more sense for her to leave before the "commitment" time is up, point to her success and drop the mic, or should she stay through the end of the commitment and say, I could not do it all, but we achieved this much under my tenure?

Maybe she intends to stay around until the Mayor is ready to start turning to education issues and wants her own pick at the top.

Who knows?

This seems like the perfect opinions only, snarky big picture question for DCUM.  So what do you all think?  [/quote]
