    It is disingenuous to state that he closed any achievement gap since arriving September 21, 2015. No one is able to achieve miracles in such a short period of time. Otherwise, he is to be commended for the award and for other accomplishments.

    Correction: …that he made great strides in closing the gap……..

    Only a longitudinal study of test scores allows us to draw that conclusion. It the test scores drop next year, does that mean he failed in his job? No. That is why my argument is valid.

    Congratulations. According to their website: The Network Journal. African American News for black entrepreneurs and professionals. Small black business, career and financial advice.
