    Reform education so students succeed in the 21st century's global economy
    I saw the power of one elected official's leadership when I was the superintendent of Chicago public schools. After Illinois created mayoral control in Chicago, Mayor Richard M. Daley united the city around a comprehensive effort to reform schools. The business community supported efforts to recruit and retain highly-effective teachers and turn around the lowest-performing schools. Public safety, the health department, parks and recreation and other city agencies supported our work. Through the mayor's leadership — and because of his personal accountability to voters — we generated support for our work for education reform and saw dramatic improvements in student outcomes.
