Rudy Crew, former chief of schools in New York City and Miami, has been named interim executive director of the Greater Crenshaw Educational Partnership, a nonprofit that works to unite parents, teachers, administrators and community organizations to improve Crenshaw High School.
Crew led the New York City Department of Education from 1995 to 1999 and Miami-Dade County Public Schools from 2004 to 2008. He was well- regarded among educators for his efforts at reforming troubled schools, but he also clashed with politicians and the Miami-Dade school board.
