Black and Mayor Michael Bloomberg met Thursday morning and "mutually agreed that it is in the city's best interest if she steps down as chancellor," Bloomberg said.
"We both agreed that the story had become her and it should be about the students," the mayor said at a City Hall news conference. Black did not attend.
The mayor appointed Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott as the new schools chancellor.
Of course the REAL problem is with mayoral control of schools rather than the traditional school board held accountable to voters. Until Bloomberg is sent packing, don't expect NYC school policies to change.
