Who could fill Nancy Grasmick's shoes?
Today, state education reporter Liz Bowie wrote a story outlining what Maryland's education and state leaders said are the next set of challenges for the next state superintendent, who will be charged with carrying the torch of arguably the state's most respected and successful superintendent.
Many agree that the retirement of Nancy Grasmick--the longest-serving superintendent in the nation--on June 30 will be the end of a formative era in Maryland's education system. Our editorial board weighed in with a piece, "Nancy Grasmick will be a hard act to follow." Feel free to weigh in on The Sun's poll about Grasmick's legacy.
The burning question now is: Who can follow in her footsteps?

Well, I know who it shouldn't be! Take Dr. Hairston from Baltimore County off the list. He's corrupt in Baltimore County so who knows what will happen at the state. Take Dr. Alonzo off the list. He is a top down leader and we don't need anymore of those at MSDE. We need someone who is collaborative with all stakeholders. Maybe the Montgomery Superindentent will agree to fill her shoes. He would help build trust.
