Has no ties with Broad and Gates and understands that urban education starts with the community and ends with the community. There is no magic bullet, nor superman. We have minus 1 maybe 2 school board members that actually represent their district. The rest fall in line for Gates and Broad, not us. <br /><br />PPS is ridiculously administration heavy, with superintendents, chiefs, VP, assistant VP of management, executive directors, directors of directors, assistant chief of director talent, the talent management department alone could be a great stand up act trying to explain it. <br /><br />Too bad it isn't funny.
