The article focuses on the mayor's race in San Diego, California. Republican Dick Murphy, seeking re-election as mayor had expected a repeat of the 2000 election, a two-man run-off on November 2nd with county supervisor Ron Roberts. Instead he lost the headlines in a three-way fight to the Democrats' Donna Frye, a 52-year-old sun-bleached blonde surfer-turned-activist councilwoman and open-government campaigner. Frye had spurned the non-partisan March primary and declared her candidacy at the end of September. That was too late for her name to be on the ballot paper. So Frye invited her supporters to write her name in. More than 155,000 voters obliged. San Diego's reputation as a Republican stronghold is now more myth than reality. Though Republicans rule San Diego County, the city itself has a Democratic majority who, in the presidential election, gave John Kerry a 12-percentage-point victory over George W. Bush. Most of the nine-member city council are Democrats. One explanation for Frye's backing is that the political establishment is being punished for its own incompetence and perceived corruption.

This article reports that in 1998, the schools of San Diego, California, embarked on an aggressive campaign to improve instruction and achievement in the more than 140,000-student district. Now, on the eve of a school hoard election that could decide the fete of those initiatives, a review by more than a dozen education experts and researchers has found solid growth in elementary school literacy but few gains at the high school level. Undertaken at the request of Superintendent Alan D. Bersin, the a San Diego Review" also has the support of a range of outside foundations and sponsors, including the Council of the Great City Schools. The goal, according to Frederick M. Hess, the principal investigator for the project and the director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington, was not to make definitive judgments about the district or to prescribe changes, but to help researchers and practitioners learn from one another about the nature, successes, and challenges of urban school improvement efforts. The initial focus was on improving the ability of principals to lead teaching and learning. Instructional leaders — all former principals — held monthly, daylong conferences for principals on instructional issues. Principals were required to spend at least two hours in classrooms each day observing practice. INSET: RESEARCH PAPERS.
