Spence Korte, who is the superintendent here in Milwaukee Public Schools. I want to thank Scott Walker, the executive-elect of Milwaukee. I want to thank your Governor for traveling with me today-it's an honor to be in the presence-who has made public education his top priority. So, instead of picking somebody who knows the theory of education or somebody who talks the philosophy of education, I actually picked somebody who did the work of education. He worked hard he made a huge difference on the frontlines of education. But he believed every child could learn he believed in setting high standards. You know, I picked him because he was a superintendent of schools in Houston, Texas, a tough school district. His job is to implement the law as quickly as possible so that no child is left behind, and I want to thank Rod for his hard work. I'm honored to join him here in the great State of Wisconsin as part of his tour. So is Clarke Street Elementary, and I appreciate the invitation.Īs my friend the Secretary of Education said, he is traveling around the country to spread the word that we passed new legislation in Washington, DC, new education reform. Rufus King International High is a center of excellence. As you can tell, I'm going to spend a little time talking about education, and a good place to talk about education and educational excellence is in centers of excellence. Thank you very much for that warm welcome.
