Over at the AP, Libby Quaid is reporting that Chicago Public Schools Chief Arne Duncan is supposed to have coffee with outgoing education secretary Margaret Spellings tomorrow morning at the Education Department! According to the story, Duncan's camp says he's in town for a dropout prevention meeting and simply wants to stop by and invite Spellings to a Chicago schools event. Hmmmm??????perhaps. But perhaps there's more to chat about?????? Duncan's name, of course, is being floated for the next education secretary, and he is the clear leader in Fordham's daily tracking poll on the matter.
