(Washington Post) — Presumptive Mayor-elect Vincent C. Gray held a long-awaited summit with Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee on Thursday but said that his 90 minutes with the outspoken schools leader, whoactively campaigned against himin a rancorous Democratic primary, hewed strictly to education issues and did not address her future in the job.
“We did not talk about Chancellor Rhee staying or going. We talked about the state of education in the city,” Gray, the D.C. Council chairman, said upon emerging from his Wilson Building office with Rhee to speak to a throng of reporters.
