Schools Chancellor Joel Klein often lauds a small
group of Harlem charter schools founded by former
City Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz.
But few New Yorkers are aware of the access
Moskowitz has to the chancellor or the special
support he has bestowed on her program, whose
four schools enroll just 1,300 of the city's more
than 1 million public school students.
...
- Secured the chancellor's help last year in landing
a $1 million donation from a private Los Angeles
foundation.
- Got Klein to intervene on her behalf in clashes
she had with his subordinates.
- Boasted to him of organizing parent "armies" to
advocate for Mayor Bloomberg's educational
policies - and of flooding politicians with
thousands of pro-charter school postcards.
Public education is SO screwed in this country.
