New Charter Schools Tsar Is Eager To Exit Boston

I don't know Duffy, but I know MATCH, so this is great news!  Welcome to New York, Michael!

Mr. Duffy, who now runs an inner-city charter school in Boston that has ssent every graduate to college for the last six years, said yesterday he is eager to travel south, where he said the contrast with Boston is  stark.
