Michelle Rhee Steps Down Today

This morning D.C. Chancellor Rhee will resign at the Mayflower Hotel. The grapevine is aquiver with New Jersey folk wondering if her next stop is Newark (or Trenton), though others wonder whether she’s holding out for Secretary of Education in a second Obama Administration, and others expect her to return to the non-profit sector. Presumptive D.C. Mayor Vincent C. Gray is sifting through resumes to fill Rhee’s slot (Deputy Chancellor Kaya Henderson will take over on an interim basis) and word is that Gray rejected Clifford Janey, late of Newark, as a prospect.
