WASHINGTON — For the first time since Michelle Rhee was brought in to shake up public schools in the nation’s capital nine years ago, an outsider will take charge of a school district that’s become synonymous with hard-charging urban education reform.
Antwan Wilson, the public schools superintendent in Oakland, California, was introduced Tuesday as Washington’s new schools chancellor. He succeeds Kaya Henderson, who led city schools for 5 ½ years before leaving at the end of September.
