NEW YORK CITY

School Board gives chancellor full control

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.
