ED's Top Tech Director Steps Down - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

Where do you go after you leave a high-profile position in the Obama administration? Back home. That's where United States Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan headed at the end of the year when he returned to Chicago. And now, so is Richard Culatta, who is stepping down as director of the Office of Educational Technology within the same federal agency. He joined the department in 2011 as the deputy director to Karen Cator's directorship. When she left to run Digital Promise, he took on the director role. Shortly after the announcement of his pending departure, another news source reported that he'd be returning to Rhode Island to work with Governor Gina Raimondo on education initiatives. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2016/01/04/eds-top-tech-director-steps-down-to-head-home.aspx
