密苏里州临时教育专员普赖斯辞职:州教育委员会任命西雷诺接任

密苏里州小学与中学教育部(DESE)临时专员 Stacey Preis 在10月20日(周二)州教育委员会会议结束后宣布辞职,即时生效;州教育委员会随即任命该部学习服务副专员 Lisa Sireno 为新任临时专员,10月21日(周三)起履职。
当天的委员会会议审议了州长 Mike Kehoe 今年1月以行政令推动的新 A-F 学校评级框架修订方案——该框架以0到100分给全州每所公立学校、特许学校和学区打出 A 到 F 的等级,9月已获委员会批准实施,但遭到哥伦比亚公立学校学监等多地学区负责人强烈反对,会议现场座无虚席。
Preis 今年6月出任临时专员,她在书面声明中表示,领导密苏里复杂多样的公教育系统需要深厚的知识经验、稳健的判断以及教育界人士的尊重与信任;被问及辞职是否因评级框架引发的反弹时,她表示「并非专门因此」。Sireno 2015年加入 DESE,今年7月出任学习服务副专员,此前负责全州评估、问责与学校改进等事务。委员会称将聘请专业机构协助遴选常任专员。
Missouri Interim Education Commissioner Preis Resigns; State Board Names Sireno
Stacey Preis, interim commissioner of Missouri's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), announced her resignation effective immediately following the State Board of Education's meeting on Tuesday, October 20. The board named Lisa Sireno, deputy commissioner for learning services, as the new interim commissioner starting Wednesday, October 21.
The board meeting took up revisions to the new A-F school rating framework that Governor Mike Kehoe advanced by executive order in January. The framework assigns every public school, charter school and district a letter grade from a 0-100 score; approved in September, it has drawn strong opposition from district leaders including Columbia Public Schools' superintendent, and the meeting room was packed.
Preis, who became interim commissioner in June, said in a written statement that leading Missouri's complex public education system requires deep knowledge, sound judgment and the respect of the education community; asked whether the backlash over the grading framework prompted her resignation, she said it was "not specifically" the reason. Sireno joined DESE in 2015 and became deputy commissioner in July. The board said it will hire a search firm to help select a permanent commissioner.
