Larry Lee writes here about the short tenure of Michael Sentance as state superintendent of education in Alabama.
One year and one day.
Explanation and speculation to follow, I hope.
Generally speaking, people don’t quit that fast with no reason at all.

That article doesn’t explain much. I have asked an Alabama friend to write it up. Sentance oversold. He claimed credit for the “Massachusetts miracle” but I had trouble finding anyone there who remembered him. Probably he forgot to tell the Alabama board that the foundation of the Mass miracle was a huge spending increase.
