Back to School With NYC Schools Chancellor Carranza

Richard Carranza, New York City Schools chancellor, talks about his priorities for the upcoming school year, including changes to gifted programs and desegregation plans.

@DOEChancellor asks, is it ok in a progressive city like New York, where we believe diversity is a good thing…to have the exact opposite in our public schools?

On D15’s (Brooklyn) plan to better integrate middle schools, @DOEChancellor says he’s “really excited” about the work parents + teachers + principals + community members have done, and we can expect a decision on this “very, very soon.”
