Angelica Infante-Green, the Commissioner of Education in Rhode Island, selected Harrison Peters as the takeover superintendent of Providence.
Peters announced his initial plans, which sound sensible, like implementing restorative justice in schools and assessing which schools need emergency repairs.
However, the article suggests that the big reform plan will be rolled out in April.
Keep an eye on this because Peters is already a member of Jeb Bush’s “Chiefs for Change,” where he has been designated a “future” chief. Chiefs for Change is an organization that adheres to Bush’s harsh ideas about testing, school closings, school report cards, and charter schools. And, of course, Jeb is one of the nation’s foremost advocates for vouchers.

Chiefs for Ka’ching
The Chiefs for Ka’ching,
are ringing in the bling.
Private schools and vouchers
and charters are their thing.
Diverting public dollars
makes what hearts they have sing
“Screw the public schools!
May they live on a shoestring!”
So say the greedy, grasping
kings of everything,
the mercenary and rapacious
Chiefs for Ka’ching.
Anjelica Infante-Green, the new commissioner’s initial meeting with the union did not go well …. the takeover allows for sweeping powers to change/ignore the teacher contract – hopefully the new Providence superintendent will choose a route of collaboratioon … Providence has been underfunded for many decades ,,,there are no magic bullets
Imagine the damage Jeb Bush would have done to the country if he had been president instead of his brother. If given a choice between GW or Jeb, who would you have wanted in the White House after Bill Clinton?
Watch the actions and listen to the words of Providence’s politically powerful bishop. He tweeted last summer that Catholic schools are a viable alternative. State Catholic Conferences and the USCCB are strong advocates for school choice. Gov. Gina Raimondo reportedly sends one of her kids to a Catholic school.
A study found there are parishes that generate more revenue from vouchers than from worshippers.
Theocracy Watch posted the training manual of an early proponent of parallel schools (had connections to the Koch’s) as a means to destroy public schools.
