Speaking of new superintendents, The national media has played the story of Mark Roosevelt becoming Pittsburgh's superintendent as a story about the trend towards hiring non-traditional superintendents. But there's non-traditional and then there's non-traditional. Roosevelt isn't a businessman or a general who has shown leadership but whose career has had nothing to do with education. His whole career has been about education, though more from the policy side than the operations side. I'm hoping for the best.
