| Abstract | With the departure in January 2006 of the first head of the Department of Education's office of innovation and improvement, those who follow the 3 and a half-year-old-office are wondering whether it will continue to play a prominent role in federal policy or whether its influence will fade. Nina Shokraii Rees, a former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney and a former education analyst at the Heritage Foundation, had led the office since its creation in 2002 by then--Secretary of Education Rod Paige. She had used her position to champion ideas such as charter schools, public school choice, and private school vouchers. With her departure on January 13 for a job with a private education company, the innovation office's role within the Education Department remains to be seen. Some observers say the momentum behind the office's creation has gone by the wayside since Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings took the helm of the department a year ago. "I think it has been clear for over a year that school choice and charter schools have not been top priorities for Secretary Spellings," said Michael J. Petrilli, the vice president for national programs and policy at the Washington-based Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, and Ms. Rees' former deputy in the innovation office. (ERIC). |
