[quote=jsteele][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.

Abigail Smith is a Charter person.  Her kids go to a charter.  she is the chair of the Haynes Board of Trustees.  It would be a very tough sell for Bowser (or anyone)  to name someone so heavily involved and invested in EL Haynes to the a top education position in the District, after naming Jennie Niles, founder of EL Haynes, as current DME.[/quote]

I doubt that matters to those whose opinions are considered important to the decision-makers. Her connection to Gray is likely more problematic. Basically, the candidate will need to be acceptable to Catherine Bradley and the Washington Post editorial board. Both of them like E.L. Haynes. [/quote]
