Michelle Rhee comes to Alabama
Originally posted on Blue in Alabama. Read the entire post here.
“It was recently announced, and not very publicly, that Michelle Rhee, the HIGHLY controversial ex-Washington, D.C. superintendent was coming to the state of Alabama at the request of Dr. Bentley (yes the Michelle Rhee from the Waiting for Superman documentary). It’s still unclear who’s going to be footing the bill for her visit. Apparently she and her group StudentFirst are coming to here to work with charter schools in the state. Dr. Bentley’s office didn’t notify the state Board of Education or the state school superintendent. That should be the first red flag. How can a woman come in to talk about education reform…without talking to the Board of Ed. or the state superintendent?!“
