Robert Bobb Gets Major Endorsement
The Washington Post calls him “the one for the job.”

Washington DC)  On Tuesday, October 24, 2006, The Washington Post officially   announced its decision to endorse Robert Bobb for President of DC Board of Education.

“Of the five candidates for school board president, we endorse Robert C. Bobb. As city administrator, Mr. Bobb lived up to a reputation as a top-notch manager at the forefront of reformers. No other school board candidate can match Mr. Bobb's familiarity with budgets and finance or his understanding of the difference between policymaking and administration. Micromanagement is not his style. His intimate knowledge of city operations and key city players in and out of government would make him a tremendous asset to the school board and superintendent. His main focus -- improving student outcomes -- puts him on the same page as Mr. Janey and Mr. Fenty. His approach to policy development and oversight should mesh well with the superintendent, board members and the next mayor... at this critical moment in the school system's history, Mr. Bobb is the one for the job.''

Bobb has also received endorsements from the Current Newspapers, the Gertrude Stein Club, EDAction Group, American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFCME), AFL-CIO District Council 20, the InTowner Newspaper, and DC City Councilmember Jim Graham.
