Short list emerges for school chief - The Boston Globe

Boston has narrowed its search for the next superintendent of schools to a list of five candidates, all career educators with experience in urban schools, several sources close to the search said yesterday.

The candidates, four women and one man, include the first Hispanic superintendent of Rochester, N.Y., who was the 2006 national superintendent of the year; a former Milton superintendent; and the outgoing superintendent of San Francisco schools who was that system's first woman and first African-American leader."
