Haley: Denver's school board needs to lead - The Denver Post:
"Was that giant sucking sound you heard last week Denver voters flushing half a billion dollars down the toilet?
By handing control of Denver's school board to candidates backed by the teachers union, voters may have unwittingly ended Colorado's bid for Race to the Top money.
But more importantly, did they also upend the district's promising reform efforts?
The easy answer is yes. But the easy answer isn't always the correct one. No one knows for sure what direction the new Denver Public Schools board will take."
