Headbanging Change Agents

Metro Councilwoman Emily Evans on the school boards decision to offer Jesse Register a shot at turning around Metro Schools:

In Tennessee, the operating political theory is “ease along.” We like change agents but we like ones that can get things done using consensus, team building and compromise with a little bit of but kicking in the background. That isn’t the sort of thing that gets you on the cover of Newsweek but it tends to work with the particular personality that is Nashville’s.

So, the decision is made. Let’s all get behind the new Director, do what we can to make him successful and hold him accountable. And with a little luck and elbow grease we will ease along to a better school system.
