An Embattled School Chief's Parting Fight

Daniel de Vise:

It is perhaps the final chance for Smith to impose his vision, and his will, on a school system he set out to transform three years ago. He has built much of his reputation in Anne Arundel by importing or expanding rigorous programs such as IB, on the theory that an infusion of challenging coursework would benefit all.

Smith acknowledges that completing the trio of IB schools is "a very important piece" of his plan, and his legacy, in the county.
