The Chicago Public Schools executive in charge of charter schools is out as district CEO Ron Huberman continues his sweeping reorganization.
Josh Edelman, hired in 2007, was responsible for about 86 schools, including every city charter school. His removal from the high-profile role came as a surprise to many in and outside the district, given Edelman's relative newness in the job.
A Huberman spokesman would only say that the administration is looking to take leadership of the new schools office in a different direction.
[...]
Many of the schools that Edelman managed are part of the controversial Renaissance 2010 initiative, which began in 2004 with the goal of creating 100 new schools by next year. The majority of the 92 schools opened under the program are charters." |
