Simply three weeks into the job, Chancellor David Banks is cleansing home by purging de Blasio lackies from town Division of Training. Stick with it!
Seven high officers underneath ex-Chancellors Richard Carranza and Meisha Ross Porter have left already, with six others demoted with pay cuts.
Banks instructed The Submit he’s dedicated to “drastic change” and desires to pare down the large central DOE forms — recognizing that it does nothing to assist our metropolis’s children.
Equally vital, the bureaucratic bloat underneath de Blasio was about doing the incorrect issues: pushing racially divisive “classes” and “coaching,” racially re-engineering college populations, using and/or handing fats marketing consultant contracts to cronies . . .
“If everybody on the Division of Training went residence and all the children simply went to highschool you could possibly get those self same outcomes,” Banks charged as he took over, asking what “worth added” comes from the “1000's of individuals in these high-paid positions?”
Apologists faux the large downside is lack of funds, but the DOE price range has soared to $31.6 billion at the same time as enrollment retains dropping and not less than half the system’s colleges stay badly dysfunctional.
This DOE is devoted to serving grownup particular pursuits, not the children. It’s nice to once more have a chancellor keen to finish that shame.
