D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee was uncharacteristically silent after her first meeting with presumptive Mayor-elect Vincent Gray, who said they covered every educational topic minus one: whether Rhee would leave.

Gray answered when Rhee was asked if she had reconsidered statements that she could not work for a boss who gave her less freedom than Mayor Adrian Fenty. “I don’t think we went that far in the discussion,” Gray said. “We will have those conversations at later discussions, but we did not talk about Chancellor Rhee staying or going; we talked about the state of education.”
