Could Dr. Andres Alonso be moving on from his position as head of Baltimore City schools? Maybe.
"Some say Emanuel's short list includes Andres Alonso, a friend of Duncan's who is credited with reversing the fortunes of the struggling Baltimore school system with some of the same reforms Emanuel has championed, such as closing failing schools and replacing ineffective principals. Alonso, who took over as schools chief in Baltimore in 2007, has a brash, confident style similar to Emanuel's, causing some to wonder if those two personalities can co-exist.
Others, though, say Alonso and Emanuel are a match, at least philosophically."
