Re: Provocative Essay on Holding Schools Accountable

The operation of a "state review board" that operates "independently" 
of the SDE seems to me to run at worst the risk of a house divided and 
at best the prospect of endless negotiation among agencies about what 
to do.  What would drive change in such an arrangement isn't clear to 
me at all.
