Washington Post Urges Appointment of DC Schools Ombuds

An editorial in the Sunday Washington Post urges DC Mayor, Adrian Fenty, to name quickly "an ombudsman, who will be an important bridge to parents, and someone to oversee the badly needed school repairs." Indeed, the WaPo editors view this as second only in importance to the appointment of a school chancellor. (Washington Post.) These comments seem to betray the belief that the ombuds will be classical, an issue that is not clear from Fenty's plans.
