Clement Price: Rutgers historian heads committee to find new head of schools for Newark

The search for the next superintendent of Newark's schools will be led by Clement Price, a Rutgers-Newark history professor and prominent city resident, Gov. John Corzine announced yesterday.

Price will chair a 17-member committee charged with drafting a short list of candidates for the job of taking charge of the state's largest school district, a post that will be vacated by Superintendent Marion Bolden in June.
