Please share your views with me about this important issue that will be considered during the current legislative session in Albany.

The mayor has been provided control of the management of the City’s schools through the ability to appoint the Chancellor of the City District and a majority of the members of the City Board of Education. This translates into power affecting city-wide education policies; the development of a master facilities plan and five-year education facilities capital plan; administrative functions; public employer; the development of a procurement policy for public schools; and management over budgetary process and school-based budgeting. As the law is set to sunset on June 30th of this year, I am interested in hearing from you about the impact of mayoral control on the City’s school system and how modifications to the law can address concerns and help to improve the current structure.
