    Denial of NYC Chancellor Waiver

    The Petition explains the issue. You can sign and make a comment.

    To: David M. Steiner

    Dear Commissioner David M. Steiner,

    Today, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced his appointment of Cathie Black to replace Joel Klein as Chancellor of New York City Schools. Ms. Black, currently executive vice president of Hearst Magazines, lacks the required educational and professional qualifications for the position of Schools Chancellor as determined by state law. As a result, she will require a waiver from your office in order to accept the appointment.

    The children, parents, and educational community of New York City deserve a leader with experience in education. Ms. Black's corporate experience may well qualify her for executive positions in business, but the education of our children and the training of our teachers is not corporate business. We urge you, as an educator, to:

  • Deny the necessary waiver for Ms. Black's appointment


  • Reaffirm the qualification requirements for NYC Schools Chancellor


  • Sincerely,

    The Undersigned
