Of course rumors can be wrong, but the word buzzing around the district is that Creg Williams will be the next superintendent of the SLPS. One political observer suggests that the Board wanted to "get out ahead of the Post Dispatch," that they didn't relish the notion of waiting and enduring editorials from the Post and other papers lobbying for a particular pick. Williams was deputy chief academic officer for Philadelphia's school system.
Of a high powered group of people meeting the candidates, before the candidates came in, the Post-Dispatch's editorial saying they were going too fast was primarily laughed at as irrelevant.
The level of disconnect and ignorance by P-D editors on the state of the schools is amazing and it seems to be well known around people familiar with the subject.
