The editorial staff of ASBJ was in D.C. last weekend, covering NSBA’s annual leadership and Federal Relations Network conference, when school leaders have an opportunity to directly speak with and learn effective strategies on lobbying their Congressmen. But there was no rest for us when we got back (deadlines, deadlines), and a new face to our publications team; spring intern Tricia Smith, who hit the ground running with her fresh insight on the federal Race to the Top program. Speaking of opinions, resident snark, er, Senior Editor Del Stover, tells us what he thinks of a recent poll of DC schools chancellor Michelle Rhee’s performance. Oh, don’t hold back, Del. Read these entries and more from this week’s Leading Source, especially if you’ve been hit by snowmaggedon (snowcopalyse, SnOMG, Thunder Snow, take your pick) because we know you have time on your hands. Happy reading and we’ll see you next week.
