Mulqueen says signing the MOU is just deciding to continue with the RTTT or not (disputes the morgage analogy)

Tracy- Here is an interesting tidbit found in the USDOE's FAQ on RTTT (http://www.ed.gov/programs/racetothetop/faq.pdf) --as to who is required to sign the MOU
Regarding what it means for a signature to be ―applicable, if an LEA is governed or managed by a school board, then the signature of the president of the school board is applicable. However, if an LEA is not governed or managed by a school board (or the equivalent), then the signature is not applicable. Similarly, if an LEA employs teachers who are represented by a teachers’ union (e.g., in a bargaining or non-bargaining State), then the signature of the local teachers’ union leader is applicable. If an LEA does not employ teachers who are represented by a teachers’ union, then the signature of the local teachers’ union leader is not applicable.
Does this mean it is the Mayor and not the Supt who is required to sign? Also, some intersting info in this doc.
based on your comment, I think the Mayor would be the person to sign the mou as chair of teh school baord
Massachusetts has said that the MOU must be signed by the chair of the School Committee (as you said, T, the mayor in Worcester), the superintendent, and the president of the local teachers' union.
School Committee votes on Thursday; the union votes on Monday.
