Ta-Ta, Anthony

Breaking News: Wake County, NC, Board Fires Superintendent

by dianerav

The Wake County board fired its superintendent, General Anthony Tata, who had been hired by the previous board majority. That previous majority was elected with a pledge to end the district's nationally recognized desegregation plan.

The vote to dismiss Tata was 5-4.

General Tata previously worked in D.C. as chief operating officer for then-Chancellor Michelle Rhee. He is a graduate of the Broad Superintendent's Academy. He was known as a hard worker and an outspoken conservative who was a political commentator on conservative websites.
