2009_01_26_hub.jpg We mentioned this weekend the speculation surrounding the CTA's Ron Huberman replacing the DC-bound Arne Duncan as CEO of the Chicago Public Schools. This afternoon, Crain's is reporting a source as saying it's a done deal and could be announced by Mayor Daley as soon as tomorrow. Okay, his experience with the Chicago Police department will probably come in handy with the way the kids are carrying on these days, but wouldn't we want someone with at least a little education experience for this role?
