Schools Chancellor David C. Banks attended a virtual town hall meeting with members of the Community Education Council of District 2 (CECD2).
The March 8 meeting, hosted by the CECD2 President Benjamin Morden, allowed members of the council to pose questions to Banks in his third month in office, and speak directly to the issues they believed demanded the most immediate attention within their district particularly focusing on improving enrollment, issues within gifted and talented programs, student safety and the chancellor’s four-pillar plan to improve NYC schools.
“I want to lift up the great work of our schools and our great teachers and I’m really excited about doing that and I think that also [it is important to] not only lift up parents and allow them to develop a greater level of trust in our system, but also to lift it up so that other schools can learn from their colleagues,” said Banks about his four-pillar plan. “It can be instructive for those schools, and I think that the best way for all of our schools to improve is for them to learn from each other.”
