I'll be watching with interest to see how much incoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett will be immediately cutting from his own budget as the Daniels lackey takes the reins of Indiana's school system.
Incoming state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett told 25 employees this week that they would not have jobs when he officially takes office Monday.
After the reorganization, the department will have fewer positions than it now has, but the number of people fired is not the same as the number of positions being eliminated, Bennett said. Some of the positions will be moved to work more directly with schools, Bennett said.
Bennett and a spokesman said they could not identify the employees who lost jobs or the positions that were affected, in part because Bennett has not officially taken office and does not yet have the power to fire employees.
No one will deny the opportunity for reform in our schools from the top to the bottom. Whether that reform is pursued responsibly is the big question, and with his mentor's hack-and-slash track record preceding his arrival, Bennett has a lot to prove in the wake of Suellen Reed's tenure.
