Michelle Rhee, Fenty's supercharged Superintendent of Schools, may not have a job under the new administration, and may not want to stay if asked to do so. The new guy, Vincent Gray, has spoken at length in opposition to her tough school reforms, reforms which were a centerpiece of the Fenty program.
If I were a mayor of a big city with failing inner city schools, I'd sure be giving her a call. Hiring Michelle Rhee to superintend your city's schools is a guaranteed way for a mayor to become a national figure, the media love her.
On the other hand, wherever she goes she will both terrify and energize the teachers' union. A mayor who hired her would need to be sufficiently secure in his/her job to handle their frenzied opposition.
