The Bluegrass Institute followed up on the Commissioner search today. A post by Richard Innes on the Bluegrass Policy Blog nicely ties up the events, chronologically and logically. And, the Kentucky School News and Commentary blog appreciates the Shout out!

From your own blog - this is not the first time Erwin has claimed to be twice named superintendent of the year - see below

Also check out St. Charles test score improvement - no better than state improvement - and they changed the cut scores.

And background from the Chicago Tribune – 13 January 2004.

St. Charles Community Unit District 303 announced Monday that Barbara Erwin of Scottsdale, Ariz., would be its next superintendent, effective July 1.For the last four years, Erwin has been chief administrator of the Scottsdale Unified School District, which has 30,000 students in 33 schools.

"Dr. Erwin has `been there, done that,' and more," said Mary Jo Knipp, president of the District 303 Board of Education. "She has been in the trenches and has really made a difference."Erwin is a 33-year educator who was twice named superintendent of the year while working in Texas from 1994 to 2000, where she headed the Allen Independent School District in Allen.
