Don't Expect The Agenda At Merryl Tisch's Board Of Regents To Change

Behind a paywall at Capital NY, but the title says enough:

Tisch: King's Selection Affirms Board Agenda

Tisch makes it sound like Arne Duncan taking John King to the USDOE is some sign from the heavens that the corporate education reform agenda she's pursuing is the right one.

It's not.

It's like one part of the education reform team moving a player over to the other part of the education reform team - that's all.

Not that this is a surprise, but you can bet the Regents, in their secret process to find King's replacement, will look for somebody who will carry on like King, just without the public meltdowns with parents or the incompetence with the CCSS rollout and the charter school approvals.
