Eraser to the top.

When Rahm selected Jean Claude Brizard as CEO of CPS, he seems to have selected another member of the liar’s club. DC’s former Chancellor Michelle Rhee has been busted for cheating on the test scores. Brizard has claimed questionable graduation rates.

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear. Brizard had nothing to do with a 12 point graduation increase. Here are the facts. In 2007 the graduation results were announced by SED for 2006 graduates at 39%. In 2008 the results for the 2007 year were announced at 51%. 2008 was Brizard’s first year. The 12% increase came before he stepped in the door. The real facts are that graduation rates dipped below 51% during his tenure, thus actually losing ground.
