Today Mitch announced his appointments to the State Board of Education. And while his picks maybe somewhat unknown (on paper they look good, but Mitch has a way of putting his pals ahead of everything else) it his reason for picking them that seems all so familiar, and bogus:
"He appointed, he said, a "reform-minded" board which he wants to look at how Indiana can best give teachers the most "time on task" with children."
What is that supposed to mean? And given the absolute failure of Mitch's recent reforms what should we even expect? Closing all but 5 schools? Oh, wait he's already pitching that idea. Firing all the principals and replacing them with Galayans employees? Buying RV's to replace aging schools?
The best part? Mitch forget to tell the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
"Daniels had earlier said he would consult with Reed on the appointments. She learned of them today in phone call from Shane."
