    Feeding the Road to Broad conspiracy fire

    Blog

    I know some of you skeptics out there think DISD is trying to buy its way to the Broad Prize, by hiring Broad graduates, taking Broad training money, adopting their reform beliefs, etc.

    Well, here's another piece to the puzzle for those of you connecting the Broad dots: DISD is committing $100,000 over the next two years to pay half of the salary of a Broad "intern," who will work in the district. The Broad Foundation will pony up $100,000 of its own, to pay the other half of this person's salary. The intern will work under Kim Olson in HR -- herself a Broad product.

    Of course, the other way to look at this is that DISD is getting two years out of an up-and-coming administrator for half price.
