CHOOSING A CHANCELLOR 2
Considering a case study showing irrelevant results from students at Washington D.C.
School and with no improvement, the institution was declared to be facing management issues.
However, there was an opinion that the school’s management needed a change, according to
parents, activists, politicians, and labor unions. This was based on the findings that the
students' attendance and test results were not up to the expected standards.
During the year 2007 mid of May victor Reynoso had a deadline of 12 hours to make a
recommendation to Adrian Fenty the Mayor, regarding who was eligible of taking the lead of
Washington DCPS. By the terms of a legislative decree that had been passed in April by the
council of the DC, Mayor Fenty would oversee the school in just a month’s time. The DCPS
system by then consisted of one hundred and fifty schools, around four thousand teachers and
fifty-five thousand students. After his election in the year 2006 November, Mayor Fenty
appointed Reynoso to take the position education deputy mayor. The qualifications that Reynoso
had making him suitable for the endorsement included having an MBA acquired from MIT Sloan
management school, he had the experience of serving on the school’s (DC) board form 2004, and
he was able to turn around a business that was struggling to achieve success, when he was an
accountant.
Even though Reynoso had not expected the position of education Deputy Mayor, he was
open to accept the challenge. Since the school was at a difficult point, he knew he is needed to
make an endorsement of a leader who had the capability of making the long unfulfilled promises
of the DCPS a reality. Reynoso also had a personal reason for wanting to appoint a chancellor
and that was that his two children were to join DCPS in some coming time. Their future would
directly be affected by the recommendation he would make.
