This is from the NY Times:
ALBANY — Acting to avert a leadership crisis in New York City’s schools amid a legislative stall in the Capitol, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo intends to call a special session of the State Legislature as early as Wednesday and introduce a bill that would extend mayoral control of the city’s educational system for one year.
The session would be focused on granting Mayor Bill de Blasio another year of control over the city’s schools and their 1.1 million students, according to an administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the negotiations. The law giving the mayor that power expires after Friday.
It is frustrating that the politicians are going out of their way to save something as unpopular and undemocratic as mayoral control.
Why is our reptilian governor doing this? Never forget who Cuomo is - a turd that wants to be president.
ReplyDeleteWhy did Lamelo Ball use the word nigga last night on Monday Night Raw?
ReplyDeleteWho's Lamelo and what's Monday Night Raw?
ReplyDeleteWait...something is wrong with you @7:24. It's embarrassing for you.
ReplyDeletePost is on mayoral control. Please take comments on other topics elsewhere. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBy having a Board of Education there will be less charter schools than with mayoral control. Cuomo is owned by charter corporations.
ReplyDeleteCome on James, Mayoral control or not, things change? No.
ReplyDeleteBloomberg would disagree with you and he would be correct.
ReplyDeleteIt was much better before mayoral control. I taught under both systems.
ReplyDeleteI also taught under both systems and my experience was that with community schools boards the relationship between teacher and admins was more of a collegial one, as opposed to the antagonistic one that currently exists.
ReplyDeleteSo my AP will act differently if the mayor loses control? No.
ReplyDeleteOur schools are going in the wrong direction with the failed policies of the last 12 years.
ReplyDelete9:54- Maybe not, but if a district is in charge, they will be paying more attention. If someone is a real jerk, it gets to the district office. Also, an ambitious AP is going to try to impress those in district office. Giving lots of U's might be the way to get ahead now, but no one really trusts someone who is out to get their employees. Overall, I found that administration was more even keeled under the old system. The districts were also more responsive to parents.
ReplyDeleteAnd 30% on the math regents now equals 65%. Im so confident things will get more positive...
ReplyDeleteBilly boy just got a two year extension. That should spur a spike in teacher retirements.
ReplyDeleteI miss Bloomberg. How fucked up is that.
