New York City School Shuffle

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg spoke volumes about his city's school management when he tabbled magazine publisher Cathy Black to take over from Joel Klein. Black's appointment suggests there will be more data-driven management in Gotham's schools.

Most media stories have focused on Black's qualifications and her shaky status at Hearst Magazines. Curiously, Klein's next move was reported in The New York Post: he's going to be an executive VP at News Corp., which owns the Post.

One wonders why these moves were made. What is Black's rationale? What does Bloomberg have in mind for the schools? And what will Klein bring to Rupert Murdoch?
