DC Schools Close to Hiring Ombuds

As the Washington DC Public School District scrambles to address administrative backlogs and prepare for the first day of classes, the newly-created ombuds position remains unfilled. However, Mayor Adrian Fenty said a five-member panel is reviewing candidates and one would be chosen soon. "There is no way in the world I'm going to sacrifice quality to meet the deadline because this person has to be excellent," Fenty said. (Washington Times.)

Although the DCPS website is largely under construction, already there is information about the ombuds program. (
