New Yorkers can speak out on mayoral control of the city’s public school system at a virtual hearing scheduled to take place next month.

The hearing. which was announced on Feb. 21, will be hosted on March 4 jointly by the New York State Senate committees on Education and NYC Education as well as the New York State Assembly Committee on Education. This opportunity will allow family members of students attending schools across the city and state to participate in an open dialogue and voice any concerns.

“There continues to be widespread dissatisfaction among parents, teachers, and other stakeholders with mayoral control of schools,” said Queens state Senator John C. Liu, chairperson of the Senate Committee on NYC Education. “What structural changes can be enacted to improve public engagement and strengthen accountability?  Should we simply do away with mayoral control, as Chicago has done? What if any system could work better? We seek ideas and suggestions at this public hearing.”
