Gray names Henderson permanent D.C. schools chief

Kaya Henderson just lost one syllable on her mouthful of a title: The interim chancellor of D.C. Public Schools is now the acting chancellor, as Mayor Vincent Gray officially nominated her for the permanent schools chief post on Wednesday.

Lauding Henderson’s “judgment” and “character,” Gray confirmed that he reviewed “a number” of other resumes for the position, but declined to start a national search or serious consider any other applicants.
