Christie moves quickly to build school board
Typically appointed by subsequent governors, members of the state Board of Education serve staggered terms as a way to provide some political stability to the panel that influences much of state education policy and regulation.
But in the last year, Gov. Chris Christie has not-so-quietly shaken up the membership of the once-sleepy body, appointing nearly half of the 13 members. His fifth and sixth appointments are to be sworn in when the board meets today. (Mooney, NJ Spotlight)
