Catching Jo in double talk.
And I try and draw a distinction.
I disagree with President Cinda Klickna over many things. I don’t think the decision-making process is very transparent. We don’t have much in common in the way of tactics. I think she is too willing to concede too much too quick.
But Executive Director Audrey Soglin is a different matter. She’s a true believer in what passes for school reform these days.
