[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's got to be an intriguing political subtext going on here: if Kaya wants to keep her job, Bowser must be elected; but in order to insure that Bowser is elected (and Kaya keeps her job) the DME's final report has to be innocuous enough (and palatable enough to the voters) that it does not make Kaya's stewardship of DCPS seem incompetent; so, it's in Kaya's best interest to try to force the DME's report to be favorable to Kaya's future.  Said another way:  the Council and their constituents have made clear that an outcome like "city wide lottery for high schools" is not going to fly with them; so if the DME's report includes that outcome, Bowser will have to reject it, and then the Chancellor becomes damaged goods by association.

Of course, the Chancellor is not supposed to have influence on the DME's report; but as a practical matter, there are just too many incentives involved for that to be true.[/quote]

I disagree.  I think that Smith's proposals  are anathema to many voters who are supporting Catania.[/quote]

How many voters are supporting Catania? Not one person in the world knows.[/quote]
