A friend of mine works for the Commisioner of Education in Albany and just received a lot of Race to the Top Money which she is looking to use. Here are a few positions that are in Albany and might be of interest to the smart and active folks on this listserv. I asked her if she had heard of the Regional School and though she hadn't, she said that she'd give it a charter (they have 100 or so to charter now). Is this of interest to the group? Gena Merliss You had mentioned that you might have some people interested in the school turnaround work here and the head of the charter schools office... Attached to this e-mail are some HR related information materials: the flyer for leadership positions that we have open for RttT positions a summary page of all of the positions - the school turnaround office descriptions start on page 3 A draft working description of the head of the charter schools office I have also attached Mass Insight's materials on building a school turnaround office. We will be working with them closely to design, staff and launch this office - as well as provide on-going support to the staff and work over the next few years. Please let me know if you have any more questions. The link to apply to the school turnaround office jobs is: http://www.oms.nysed.gov/hr/listing.html Please pass this on to anyone who you think might be a good fit - we are taking resumes and letters of interest. -Sally Sally Bachofer New York State Education Department Office of Innovative School Models 89 Washington Avenue Room 475 EBA Albany, New York 12234 518.474.4817 http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/oism/
