Mayor Bill de Blasio said a three-year extension of mayoral control over city schools works "for now," as he rallied with parents, educators and unions Thursday to ramp up support for the proposal.extending mayoral control for three years, until June 30, 2022. It would be the longest extension de Blasio will have received during his mayoral tenure.
"Doesn't matter if Mayor Bloomberg and I agreed on everything or not: when it comes to mayoral control, it was one of his greatest achievements to get that passed in Albany," he added."The question is very simple, but not simplistic: how can we afford not to have mayoral control in the largest, most diverse city in America — I would argue in the world — to have that kind of leadership," Carranza said.
"From the business community standpoint, this should be permanent," Kathryn Wylde, president and CEO of Partnership for New York City, said. "We should certainly be getting a multi-year extension."
