Rhee, who is engaged to marry Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson in early September, finds her residency and future employment a persistent question in the mayoral competition between her boss, Mayor Adrian Fenty, and his major competitor D.C. Council Chair Vincent Gray: Will she remain as D.C. schools boss in a Gray administration? Will she stay long in a second Fenty administration given her marriage and the attractions of Sacramento?
After a sprint by Rhee through weighty topics like Common Core standards, D.C. STARS data tracking, truancy and drop-out prevention, the hour wound down with Cardoza posing a “lightening round” of questions that included what grade Rhee would give her performance as schools chief and what movies she has seen recently. Her answers: the same percentage as students passing the DC CAS exam, and Salt, Flipped and The Kids are All Right, respectively.
