Michelle Rhee and the Washington, D.C., Public Schools. Purchase from Kennedy School. Case 1957.0.
Assume you are a top advisor to Kaya Henderson, who has just replaced Michelle Rhee as Chancellor of the Washington, DC, Public Schools (DCPS) in 2010 (after the end of the case). The new Chancellor has asked you for a memo that assesses and proposes improvements in Rhees approach to managing and motivating the principals and teachers of DCPS.
The required reading mentioned above (1957.0) and an example student memo are attached. Please follow the format of the example memo. The writer’s perspective should be an advisor. All the information needed should be in the reading. If the writer cites from anywhere else, please footnote it. In the background part, the writer should provide only 3-4 options, and expand them. Please provide specificity for the options, and address how they will be implemented. The writer’s final recommendation also should be strong – including process and reinforce why the writer recommends that course of action. Thank you!
