The next CPS boss.
Former IEA Executive Director Jo Anderson.
Some of my friends have suggested Bill Ayers or Linda Lenz of Catalyst. But those are my friends.
Others have had their own ideas for the next head of CPS.
Catalyst has been soliciting some.

Jo Anderson, who is now a senior adviser to Arne Duncan at the Department of Education. He once was Executive Director of the IEA. Catalyst even includes a positive quote from me about Jo. Let me just point out that the quote is several year old, and leave it at that.
