Part 5 is a very small email between Delaware Secretary of Education Mark Murphy and the Chief Accountability and Performance Officer, Penny Schwinn. With that being said, this is a very important email…
Mark Murphy tells Penny Schwinn that other stakeholders have been notified. He doesn’t name them, but this is very important in the grand scheme of the priority schools initiative. A stakeholder would have to be someone that would be impacted by this decision. With everything that occurred with the priority schools, this could be several people. Murphy also states it is “all about communication.” This foreshadowing on Murphy’s part predicts a very tumultuous reaction to this upcoming announcement. Murphy wants all his ducks in a row, and wants to slowly ease “stakeholders” into this. I would have to assume “MKM” is Mary Kate McLaughlin, the former Chief of Staff at the DOE.
