Replacing Brady

Providence Superintendent Tom Brady's resignation has already ginned up all sorts of speculation over who may replace him. But if the "who" is important, so is the "what," as in what sort of philosophy can we expect - what sort of approach to teachers and education reform in a remarkably turbulent time in capital city education.

Mayor Angel Taveras pronounced himself a supporter of the sort of market-based reforms favored by Deborah Gist during the campaign. He'll soon have a big chance to make his imprint on the school system that pushed him through to Harvard.
