I'm not sure why you'd say that, but this doesn't seem like a great hire for APS.  Nothing in his background tells me he's especially equipped to do a good job with the budgetary or facilities issues facing APS.  [/quote]

APS has to focus on instruction (which seems to always get fifth or sixth priority), how to best utilize its limited resources and (related) facilities.  He doesn't need to be an expert is any or all of these if he provides leadership on each.  I'm worried his entire career focus on "equity" will make for all talk on that issue and no talk/direction/leadership on the others.  [/quote]

I am guessing he ended up being trotted out regularly by FCPS as a demonstration of their supposed commitment to equity but he would have had to have been in the trenches as a superintendent of the schools in Trenton (a very poor city). I’m just not convinced he has the chops to secure the money APS needs and use it strategically and efficiently.  [/quote]
