This is a very thorough article, except that it would have been good to include when the position at UPMC began and to have some follow up on this issue:
"When Ms. Hazuda ran for the school board, she campaigned on a platform that Mr. Roosevelt's administration had made progress but also mistakes. She told the Post-Gazette in 2007 that the board seemed content to go along for the ride, a practice she wanted to change."
- Has she in fact changed that practice? When and how? It seemed like statements made early on that the Board should be setting policy not just reacting diminished over time to zero..

Somehow I doubt she had the UPMC job when she voted no on closing schenley.
She has being going on one hell of a ride, when is the last thing she questioned? or voted No against?
What a Joke?

Westinghouse's single-gender academies to bolster opportunity
Toughest challenge: tackling under-enrollment on a tight budget.
+ cost-effective decisions.
+ people want the best, but want to pay the least.
Repeat.
Wow, the UPMC comment lasted. Lucky you didn't make a crack about the last president's job.
The naivete exhibited again and again does not bode well for the future of PPS.
