[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]So, who do people actually want?  What would an ideal candidate be?[/quote]

I know my suggestion won't be popular -- least of all with the person I'm suggesting -- but I think Abigail Smith should be considered. I can't defend her entire track record, but I think she has dealt with the system long enough to know what can and should be fixed.

you're brave to post that here ;-)

She would be worth considering but I don't see it after the boundary review fallout[/quote]

She is and was an effective leader that took on an issue that needed to be dealt with after 40 years. But think about it. She was Mayor Gray's deputy. Wrong team.[/quote]

So was Kaya[/quote]

Anyone think she was forced out?[/quote]

Yes

From Bowser:

[i]"Without a doubt, DCPS is a very different place today than it was when Kaya joined our school system in 2007. DCPS is the fastest improving urban school district in the country. After decades of decline, DCPS has also seen consistent, annual enrollment growth since Kaya became Chancellor—growing from 45,000 students in 2010 to nearly 49,000 students this year. While we will miss Kaya, we can all be proud of her team and her tenure as the second longest-serving leader of DCPS."[/i]

She's getting dragged down on multiple fronts.  She likes and believes this ^^ story but knows the ending is a clunker.[/quote]

She'll never just say -- 'DC is getting wealthier and whiter and that explains most of our gains . . . oh, and by the way, that unconscionable achievement gap was like that when I got here.' [/quote]
