Our 20 year experiment with Mayoral control: comments to the State and to NYC Bar Association
Feb. 6, 2024
Below is the presentation I gave last night to the Education Committee of the NYC Bar Association, on the history and the myths surrounding Mayoral control. Below that is my longer testimony on Mayoral control to the State Education Department, that goes into more depth on these issues.
NYSED is supposed to release a report to the Legislature on March 31, including a comprehensive review and assessment of the overall effectiveness of mayoral control in New York City schools. Hopefully, this report will also include a summary of the public comment at the hearings, where more than 95% of speakers opposed a continuation of the current system, as well as a summary of the testimony submitted online.
