Bush Talks Education In Denver

The AP (10/21, Moreno) reports on an appearance in Denver, Colorado, by former President George W. Bush, in which he said "he's still passionate about education, even though he considers himself to be only an observer of politics since he left office." Bush met with "local education leaders and Mayor Michael Hancock to talk about an initiative to train and recruit principals. 'We believe that an excellent school must first of all have an excellent leader,' he said, describing the Bush Institute's Alliance to Reform Education Leadership" which "seeks to change how principals are recruited, trained and evaluated."
