Like a cancer, the Broad Academy is infesting school districts from all over the country, and people are slow to wake up to the infestation. It's almost too late: the billionaire's sham organization, sort of like a TFA for school district superintendents, has gotten a foothold in district after district wrecking school district after school district with its harebrained schemes to run school districts like businesses and having "fellows" run them who are often little more than crooks. Not that there aren't crooks in public education administration already, but these Broadies are even more brazen.
At least Oregon hasn't been too much infected--not yet anyway, although such "reforms" as open enrollment are taking hold.
New Jersey is just about done for.
Chris Cerf, by the way, was president of Edison Schools, which should disqualify him from anything having to do with education. He has bounced around from the corporate world to public ed and so forth. As far as I know, he isn't directly related to the late publisher and What's My Line? panelist Bennett Cerf, though Bennett did have a son named Chris. This Chris may be a distant relative.
