Learning About the New Schools Chancellor

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 12, 2018

New York Daily News education reporter Ben Chapman, Ana Tintocalis, communications director for the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence, a state agency that helps struggling school districts, and former education reporter, and Jacob Carpenter, K-12 education reporter at the Houston Chronicle, talk about the mayor's new hire for schools chancellor Richard Carranza -- his accomplishments in Houston and San Francisco and what he'll bring to the much larger NYC system.  Ben Chapman elaborates on his reporting on a lawsuit in San Francisco that accused Carranza of sex discrimination and retaliation, not reported at the time, while Ana Tintocalis says he was seen as a "golden boy" for his ability to bring stakeholders together.  Jacob Carpenters says there's some animosity in Houston, mainly because he's leaving only 18 months into the job.
