I have heard rumblings that there is some discontent with Victor Reinoso. I'm not sure why it is happening, especially since the mayor has not even officially taken the reigns at DCPS. It's possible that Mr. Reinoso is simply being attacked by opponents of the Mayor's education plan since attacking a popular mayor is not a politically smart move. To me, Mr. Reinoso seems to be a sensible leader with an excellent background in education. The fact that he served on the school board should be seen as a plus He knows DCPS from close in and has extensive knowledge of some of the biggest problems at DCPS.
I haven't seen much publicly written about this topic yet, and criticism has not really been aired citywide, but I would like to offer some advice. In New York, when people attack Joel Klein, Mayor Bloomberg immediately rushes to his defense. After all, Mayor Bloomberg is really the person in charge, and he needs to take the heat so that the Chancellor can do his job without distractions.
Mayor Fenty needs to do the same thing with Mr. Reinoso if it ever gets to that point. It will be some time before we can objectively rate the job that Mr. Reinoso is doing, so let's not make predictions or launch ad homonym attacks. Only the children will suffer if the new education system falls prey to politics and public relations.
