Subject: Re: [arn-l] More power to superintendents

Yes, we had all kinds of voter shenanigans in the 2000 election..  Also, our 
newest school superintendent is John Fryer of Washington State,  a close 
friend of Seattle  school "reformers".  He came to us from his post as the 
president of the National War College.  He is also VERY close to Marc Tucker, and has 
America's Choice in more than half our schools.

Here's what the Duval County website says about him:

Mr. Fryer joined the district with an extensive background in professional 
leadership and technology - strengths resulting from 33 years of experience he 
gained in numerous leadership roles with the United States Air Force and 
private industry.  A retired Major General, Mr. Fryer served as Commandant, National 
War College and Interim President, National Defense University.  In these 
capacities, he supervised professional education in national security strategy 
and policy for United States and foreign officers, State Department staff, and 
other government agency officials.  He has also served as Senior Military 
Advisor to the United States Ambassador in NATO; Assistant Chief of Staff, Plans, 
and Policy, HQ United Kingdom Air Forces; White House Fellow, Special Assistant 
to FBI Director and US Attorney General; Instructor Pilot and Academic 
Instructor, Commander of an F-16 tactical fighter wing; Commander of an Air Force 
research institute; and numerous other distinguished positions.
