Chief of Staff to U.S. Secretary of Education Appointed Executive Director of New Texas Charter Schools Association

http://www.bizjournals.com/austin/stories/2008/09/22/daily27.html

David Dunn will be leaving his post as chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings to lead the new Texas Charter Schools Association (TCSA) early next month. More than 100 public charter school leaders across Texas have been involved in the creation of the Austin-based TCSA. The association has received support from the Charter School Policy Institute, the Walton Family Foundation and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation. "Parents and kids deserve quality education options," says Dunn. "TCSA is committed to giving them those options." In the 2007-08 school year, more than 113,000 students were enrolled in public charter schools in the state.
