Michelle Rhee to Resign
The Washington Post reports:
BALTIMORE -- D.C. schools head Michelle Rhee, whose decision to fire many teachers helped bounce the mayor who appointed her out of office, will announce her resignation on Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the situation said.
The decision was mutually made by Rhee and D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray, the presumptive next mayor, said the person who spoke on the condition of anonymity because an official announcement wasn't scheduled until a morning news conference.
Gray defeated Mayor Adrian Fenty in the Democratic primary last month, partly because Fenty continued to support Rhee. Deputy Chancellor Kaya Henderson will take over for Rhee on an interim basis, the person told The Associated Press.
The impending resignation was first reported by The Washington Post.
