Brizard Means Business

Rochester City School District Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard announced a new plan to improve graduation rates in City schools from 39% to 75%.

"So what"?, you say. Well, unlike previous City School's chiefs, Brizard did not deal in platitudes, instead, he announced concrete plans which actually put some pressure on school administrators to take action and, most importantly, called for and described a mechanism through which parent involvement would be key.

Obviously, its too early to tell how this will go, but its clear that Brizard is not content with the same old excuses.

Here's wishing him success.
