Who Can't Lead Crew is no stranger to the Northwest. Before going to New York, he was superintendent of the Tacoma School District from 1993-95. Even after moving to the East Coast, he held onto a house he had just bought near Gig Harbor, where he now makes his home once again.
Crew is married and has four grown children.
Seattle School District Superintendent Joseph Olchefske applauds the formation of the institute and the choice of Crew to guide it. For years, superintendents, principals and others exercised leadership by maintaining the status quo. That's a very major change in identity and role and function. He's truly one of the smart people in our profession. I can't say enough positive things about him.
