A Czar Is Born!

ES Board Chair Alan Bersin will become President Obama’s Border Czar to help address the problems along the U.S. Mexico border.  It’s familiar turf for Bersin who did similar work for President Clinton and was U.S. Attorney in San Diego.  After that Bersin became superintendent of the troubled San Diego schools and Secretary of Education for California among other education roles.   He’ll be missed in this field, as he was one of the people who could break bread with all sides of the various disputes.  And he’ll be very much missed at ES where his leadership was invaluable as the organization grew.    Bersin on education and his experiences in his own words here.
