School Board gives chancellor full control
July 02, 2009, 6:59 AM /
NEW YORK (AP)—A hastily appointed Board of Education gave Schools Chancellor Joel Klein full authority over the city’s education system Wednesday after the State Senate failed to act on a bill to renew Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s control of the schools.
Gov. David A. Paterson had ordered lawmakers into a special session Tuesday night to take up time-sensitive bills, including mayoral control of the schools, which expired at midnight. But the lawmakers did not address the issue.
The Senate’s inaction left governance of the system up to a Board of Education that was dissolved in 2002.
