N.J. Board of Ed votes to open superintendent positions to non-educators

Jessica Calefati:

It just got easier to become superintendent of a troubled New Jersey school district.

The state Board of Education Wednesday relaxed the requirements for hiring superintendents in more than 50 districts with failing schools, opening the positions for the first time to non-educators.

Backed by the Christie administration, the new regulations take effect immediately as part of a pilot program for districts with schools that fail to meet federal standards for student achievement based on test scores.

This is a good idea.
