Hey CCSD: Please Hire Her!!

CCSD needs to stop negotiating with Dwight Jones and go after the Superintendent of the Washington D.C. schools, Michelle Rhee.
From the Washington Examiner: Michelle Rhee will resign as chancellor of D.C. Public Schools at the end of October.
The reformist schools chief will announce her resignation at a Wednesday morning news conference with presumptive Mayor-elect Vincent Gray and Mayor Adrian Fenty, and Deputy Chancellor Kaya Henderson will be named interim chancellor, according to sources close to Rhee.
Rhee was appointed in 2007 by Fenty, who allowed her freedom to exercise reforms unseen in the District's historically failing public school system. The new contract Rhee negotiated with the Washington Teachers' Union in June
effectively eliminated tenure and allowed her to fire about 241 teachers, including 165 who received poor appraisals under a new evaluation system. She also fired principals and closed chronically underperforming schools.Read more at the Washington Examiner:

If CCSD is serious about getting a quality superintendent, instead of the unqualified Dwight Jones, CCSD should be making phone calls right now to Ms. Rhee.
Dwight Jones is about a moon shot away from Rhee in terms of qualifications of Rhee and CCSD should be pursuing her to no end.
Come on, CCSD, you are living a nightmare. Wake up and get Rhee.
