MckessonIncoming Baltimore City Public Schools CEO Sonja Santelises announced Tuesday that 30-year-old Mckesson will take over the cabinet position from interim chief Deborah Sullivan, who will return to her former position as executive director of organizational development, The Baltimore Sun reports.

Mckesson made himself famous through the Black Lives Matter movement after he took leave from his job at Minneapolis Public Schools to protest the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. More recently, Mckesson ran a last minute campaign for mayor of Baltimore and was beaten badly, coming in sixth in the Democratic primary with only 2.6 percent of the vote, according to the news site.

This is speculation since I know zip about it first hand. I s'pect the Baltimore Public Schools already produce a degree of failure such that hiring one more teacher incapable of teaching something useful won't matter.<P>

I live in the sphere of the Minneapolis Public Schools so can say from observation that he may have been more successful with Black Lives Matter in Missouri and Maryland than he was in Minneapolis at whatever he did for his pay.
