}}Christine Jax was a commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education (then known as the Department of Children, Families and Learning) from 1999 to 2003.[1][2][3] In 2012 she ran for a school board position in Palm Beach County, Florida,[4] and in 2015 she became the Dean and Chief Academic Officer for Digital Media Arts College, an art and design college in Boca Raton, Florida.[5]

Career

Jax founded and managed a school for homeless children in Minnesota. In 1996, Jax received a Bush Foundation grant to conduct a study concerning educational policy.[6] For the past 25 years Jax has taught and held administrative positions at various for-profit online colleges, including Ashworth College,[7] Capella University,[8]{{fv|date=June 2018}} and Walden University,[9] as well as the non-profit Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota. In 2015 she accepted the position of Chief Academic Officer at Digital Media Arts College.[10]{{fv|date=June 2018}}

From 1999 to 2003 she served the state of Minnesota as Commissioner of Education.[11] During her tenure, the budget of the department she led (the Minnesota Department of Children, Families, and Learning, which was the state's state education agency) was cut by $8.5 million (more than 10 percent). As a result, according to Education Week, Jax "cut one-quarter of the department's staff, to 183 positions, and restricted agency spending on travel, hiring, and contracting."[12]

Jax has written two non-fiction books.[13]

Electoral politics

In 2012, Jax was briefly a candidate for governor of Minnesota, running as an Independence Party of Minnesota candidate. Jax dropped out of the race two weeks after announcing her candidacy and endorsed congressman Tim Penny, who was defeated by Republican Tim Pawlenty in a three-way race.[14]

Jax subsequently moved from Minnesota to South Florida. She was associate dean of doctoral programs at Walden University, a for-profit online institution.[14]

Jax ran for the Palm Beach County School Board in 2012.[15][16] In a five-candidate race, Jax advanced to a runoff election,[17][18] but was defeated by Michael Murgio.{{cn|date=June 2018}}

Personal

Jax is married to Jesus "Zeus" Castillo. The couple has seven children and four grandchildren.[19]
