In “Ten big changes coming to NC public schools in 2012,” I pointed out that there was a good chance that we would see changes to the powerful State Board of Education (SBE). Now that Bev Perdue is out, her hand-picked chair of the SBE and de facto representative on the board, Bill Harrison, will almost certainly resign. The vacancy will allow the incoming governor to choose a new chair.
Speaking of politics and education, the news about Perdue probably made June Atkinson, Superintendent of Public Instruction, pretty happy.
