Finalists for NJ DOE Commissioner

NJ Spotlight says that the short list includes Acting Commissioner Rochelle Hendricks, Christopher Cerf, Andy Smarick, Deborah Gist, and Michelle Rhee (though we just heard she’s taking a gig in Florida). Not out of the question: David Hespe of Willingboro, Richard Kaplan (current superintendent of New Brunswick), Rochester’s superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard, NYC Deputy Commissioner John King, and North Brunswick super Brian Zychowski, who also chairs Christie’s Teacher Evaluation Task Force.
