Back to School With NYC Schools Chancellor Carranza

The Brian Lehrer Show | Sep 4, 2018

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.”
