From City Pages:
All three of the finalists considered for Minneapolis's top job have ties to a superintendent training program run by a California billionaire with a conservative political agenda for school reform. Hand-in-glove with President Bush's controversial No Child Left Behind initiative, that agenda includes using corporate and military leaders to run school systems more like businesses, using stock-analysis techniques to rate schools' cost-effectiveness, and creating ever increasing numbers of charter schools to put competitive pressure on public schools.
