We should be in good shape for the next
couple of years,» said Maureen Bowers, a Kingston
school board member, as she spoke in front the Educate NY Now Express bus that was making the run to Albany.
The event, a veritable who's who
of corporate education reformers, included the Chief Operating Officer
of Michelle Rhee's StudentsFirst, a
couple of national
board members of Teach For America,
members of KIPP's national
board of directors, a
board member of New Leaders Inc. (a program to «train»
school administrators in the ways
of education reformers) and one
of the founders
of the national group, Democrats for Education Reform.
