[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Majority school and city is black. I'm confused. I am black and I say bring on the most qualified regardless of race. I would like urban experience (and [b]teaching[/b]) though.[/quote] ITA. Another black parent here. We need a real teacher's teacher, of any background, at the helm if we want DCPS neighborhood schools to be good long-term options.

My concern is how to get someone who can fill the role we need now.

The original chancellor's job was a high-level political appointee of the mayor, but Bowser demoted the role to report to the DME. 
It will be a cold day in hell before a DCPS chancellor gets chartering authority, which hinders cooperation on things like buildings and boundaries. 
EMOC, facilities (Ellington), Chartwells, special education, WTU contract are legal quagmires with no quick fixes.

I don't know a thing about Davis. But if most of his time is with principals, I don't see how that will help on the frontlines with teachers and parents.

Any urban education technocrats out there?

We don't need a teacher as chancellor - we need a leader/manager. Add to the PPs list negotiating a teachers contract. [/quote]

Not a current teacher but someone that can at least relate to teachers. It's possible to have both. Why settle? [/quote]
