Charles Zogby has resigned as Pennsylvania's Education Secretary, leaving behind a legacy of controversial but sensible and far-reaching reforms. Among many other accomplishments, Zogby and his predecessor, Eugene Hickok, now U.S. Undersecretary of Education, advanced charter schools, instituted tougher standards for teachers and students, and oversaw the state takeover of the Philadelphia schools. Zogby becomes senior vice president of K12, William Bennett's online education firm. Governor-elect Ed Rendell will likely replace him with someone from the heart of the school establishment.
