State Superintendent of Education Cade Brumley, who just passed the six-month mark on the job, is winning praise even from some education groups that were less than enthusiastic about his selection.
Brumley s willingness to listen to a wide variety of views on often-contentious public school issues in the midst of a pandemic was cited by leaders of several organizations asked for an early assessment. He is very accessible, said Barry Erwin, president of the Council for a Better Louisiana.
Brumley narrowly landed the job on May 20 on the third vote by the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
