Two Days Left, and Still No Vote on Who Will Control NYC Schools

With only two days to go in the state legislative session, the question of who will control the city's public schools remains unresolved.

Unless Albany lawmakers vote on the issue by the end of the session, Mayor Bill de Blasio's control over city schools.

WNYC reporter Fred Mogul said if they don't, it won't be the first time. When state lawmakers allowed mayoral control to lapse in the summer of 2009, they called a special session before the start of the school year, and renewed it.

"That's how it might play out this year," said Mogul. "Leave town on Wednesday, come back later to fix it."
