Yogi Berra famously said, "If you reach a fork in the road, take it." The Houston Independent School District is at a very serious fork in the road in its search for a new superintendent. The path that's taken will impact the very future of Houston's 213,000 students and their teachers.

Hard questions have to be asked: Does Houston pick someone who will continue with current education policies that are straight out of a handbook promoting market-driven, test-based policies, or does it go with someone who understands the needs of Houston's students and educators and wants to pursue evidence-based ideas for improving teaching and learning?
