Schools Chief Due in Long Beach
California's "Superintendent of Instruction" Jack O'Connell will be in Long Beach tomorrow, making a rare public appearance.
I kid, I kid! That man makes more public appearances than you can shake a stick at; you wouldn't believe how many emails I get (sometimes several in one day) announcing his many speaking engagements.
Nonetheless, he will be in Long Beach on Thursday, when those of you participating in the annual state PTA convention will be treated to what are promised to be "brief remarks" from O'Connell.
If I had to wager on what topics he may tackle, I'd say the budget crisis and the achievement gap will rank right up there.
