She did, but she should be glad she didn't get it.

Sister, skin color is more important than gender.


What am I missing? Bowser, Alexander, and Ferebee are all African-American.


That can't be.

Statistically speaking, that's a miracle.

What a slap in the face, but on the other hand, I prefer someone from the outside.

Okay she has it then, no time for anyone to triple quadruple check an outsider and they can't be doing with anymore scandals. It is what it is and DCPS will just keep on chugging along ...

That article mentions Wanda Legrand. She was in DCPS at some point as a Wilson hire. Is she still around?


Real deal for what? Just ask the teachers of Bunker Hill and Ross ES how she governed, got rid of the good teachers and promoted the weakest teachers to administrative roles. She is known for attending charter school activities.


Don't we all want some collaboration -- or at least sharing of best practices between sectors?

I have heard that she is close with several board members of DC Schools Reform Now.

I'd assume there are some good white, Latino or Asian superintendents out there, especially when you do a national search, but maybe not.


Yes.


As if Rhee made tremendous strides during her tenure.


OK, no Asian.

Now, you'll agree that Antwan was a bad joke, so no more black candidates either.

Now we are down to white or Latino.

Thanks PP, you've been so helpful.
