Should there be mayoral control of the schools?

During the 2002 and 2003 Legislative sessions, the Legislature approved
the most comprehensive governance changes to the New York City School
District in over three decades.

This meant that the mayor was given 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 also gave the mayor control over educational standards,
curriculum requirements and mandatory educational objectives and much more.

The public is invited to express their point of view today in Brooklyn.
