Who Rules the Schools? Mayoral Control After Bloomberg - The New School Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy

Chancellor Joel Klein & Deputy Chancellor Chris Cerf Spun the Accomplishments of Mayoral Control Under Mayor Bloomberg and Joel Klein's NYC Department of Education to the High Heavens - followed by a lively and often spirited discussion by a prestigious panel of experts concerned with improving school results and achievements...Carmen Colon did an admirable job of voicing some of the parents concerns, but she was out-gunned by Chris Cerf...Cerf is a world-class s**t shoveler...he should be in the Bush Administration...he could even teach them a thing or two about propaganda...it's hard to believe..!

When Mayor Michael Bloomberg took office, one of his top priorities was to repair the city’s ailing public schools. The state gave him control of the school system five years ago and must soon decide whether to extend that power to future administrations. Are the schools more accountable today? Are students and teachers more successful? Are parents more fully engaged? Are principals more effective? What is the track record of mayoral control—and should it continue after 2009?
