The latest trainee from Eli Broad's Big House Superintendent's Academy to be placed in charge of mangling another urban school system is Jean-Claude Brizard (Class of '07), who is fresh from a spectacularly-failed administration in Rochester, New York, where he earned an overwhelming no-confidence vote from Rochester educators (2,713 to 140).
