Who's In Charge Of Facebook's Gift To Newark Schools?

Khaatim Sheerer El can concentrate full-time on helping the Newark Schools divvy up nearly $100 million donated by Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg.

The good news for Khaatim Sheerer El is that he can now concentrate full-time on helping the Newark Schools divvy up nearly $100 million donated by Facebook Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg, plus the equivalent in matching grants. The bad news is that his schedule opened up because he was forced to resign from Atlanta’s public school board.

The southern city has been plagued by an extensive cheating scandal, in which teachers allegedly falsified students’ test scores, but several sources told Newark newspaper The Star-Ledger that El has not been implicated.
