Breaking News: Starr, Alonso: Candidates for NYC schools chancellor?

Two education leaders in the greater Washington region — which for the purposes of this post includes Baltimore — are believed to be among those under considering to become the next chancellor of the largest school district in the country, New York City.
Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio has said he will hire someone who has been an educator to run the school system, unlike the three people who were picked by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to run the district during his three terms.
According to people familiar with the thinking in the de Blasio camp, those expected to be considered for chancellor are Joshua Starr, superintendent of the high-achieving Montgomery County Public School system in Maryland, and Andrés Alonso, the former chief executive officer of Baltimore City schools, who resigned last summer after six years. Another name mentioned as a candidate is Kathleen Cashin, a member of the New York State Board of Regents.
