The Delaware Governor’s ESSA Advisory Committee will meet tonight at Legislative Hall in the House Majority Hearing Room. The fun starts at 6pm. Will Jack Markell show up? It would be very tight. At 5pm he will be in Wilmington for the Delaware Open Data Launch, and then he has to be at Dover Downs for the 2016 Volunteer Awards ceremony.
I can’t believe there has been no announcement concerning who is actually on this committee. I know State Rep. Kim Williams, Deb Stevens from DSEA, and Appo Superintendent Matt Burrows are on it. If I were a betting man, I’m sure Kendall Massett from the Delaware Charter Schools Network is on it. She rarely gives up a spot on any committee for a designee. Someone from Rodel. Perhaps Kevin Carson from the Delaware Association of School Administrators. John Marinucci from the Delaware School Boards Association. I have a feeling I will know most of this crowd. See you tonight!

Love the banner photo today. All the old white guys sitting around a table looking perplexed. Markell or his lookalike hiding his face from the red-coated Sarah Palin. A picture of true art!

The banner photo is random so it will change all the time no matter what page you go to. Looking to add more!

You should read my blog more often, Kevin! Kidding. I posted the presser from yesterday and it lists all of the members, Kendall included.

Where was that presser released? I had problems searching for stuff on state websites yesterday. I believe that is due to a lot of information being migrated to this Delaware Open Data Portal that officially launches tonight. Thanks for the heads up on this!

This is an interesting group with some surprises. I believe it is very stacked with those sympathetic to the ed reform movement, but seeing people like Nelia Dolan gives me hope.
