Eric Adams Announced David Banks at the New NYC Chancellor of Schools
The announcement is making many people happy because David Banks is an educator. Someone who has taught in NYC knows what is going on.
Mayor de Blasio’s biggest success was because he appointed an educator to NYC schools, Carmen Farina – not the other guy!
Banks is showing he is curriculum and wants to make sure all students in NYC know how to read.
You can’t take an educator from Florida and expect him to understand NYC schools and families. Caranza went on the attack with parents – bad move in NYC. (See here) If parents are taking the time to be at the school and meetings, it means that education is important to them.
Banks said he will expand Gifted and Talented Programs. (See his statements here)
Incoming Schools Chancellor David Banks will do away with several choices made under the de Blasio administration. He wants to keep both the gifted and talented program and the SHSAT, while also expanding on these opportunities for students to get into specialized schools. pic.twitter.com/qrUr4F8WJX

It’s nice to see Chancellor Banks start on such a positive and hopeful tone- that matters. Banks also didn’t talk favorably about people working at Tweed who were impacting education.
If you know anything about education, G&T is special education – it’s necessary for children who need to be challenged.
Where are all those politicians who supported G&T when they ran for office, but then folded when Mayor de Blasio announced he was ending these programs, politicians like Senator Andrew Gounardes folded – he didn’t fight back – at all.
Brannan initially suppoted G&T, but then went silent.
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis consistently supported G&T – she didn’t waver on it.
Today, Malliotakis was satisfied with Banks appointment.
