New York City Schools Chancellor David C. Banks set a course Wednesday for transforming the city’s public school system, aiming to change the way the city’s 1.1 million students get a substantial education.
Alongside Mayor Eric Adams on March 2, Banks highlighted four primary pillars to bolster literacy and promote strong educational values to improve NYC schools. The mayor and chancellor spoke of their years-long collaboration and commitment to implementing necessary reforms to the NYC Department of Education (DOE) to an audience of educators, press, guests and lawmakers.
