Exclusive on DC School Closings!
DC School Chancellor Michelle Rhee has taken some brutal hits for her proposal to close 23 city schools;
but sources close to the Fenty administration tell me the list of schools isn't Rhee's work alone. Mayor Adrian Fenty's Deputy Mayor for education, Victor Reinoso had as much say in putting the hit list together.
Reinoso's Chief of staff and at least one other staffer were part of the working group that produced the list of schools to be closed because of under enrollment. Rhee's contribution was a couple of her own staffers.

The process to close 23 DCPS schools shows the Fenty/Rhee Administration does not want to involve the public in anything. Since his election, the media has portrayed those who opposed the Mayor has obstructionists. This administration is not able to be open and to be honest with the public. The media needs to BE BOLD and tell the public's story rather than report the Fenty tale. Those of us in the community are NOT STUPID or ARROGANT. OUR VOICES SHOULD BE HEARD.
