N.Y. City and State Said to Reach Deal for Schools Chief's Appointment
The state's education commissioner, David M. Steiner, and the
Bloomberg administration have reached a deal that will allow
Cathleen P. Black, a media executive, to become the next
schools chief.
A top education official in the city's schools system, Shael
Polakow-Suransky, the chief accountability officer, will be
named the chief academic officer to serve as the No. 2 to Ms.
Black, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement
between the state and the city.
In return, Mr. Steiner on Monday will grant Ms. Black a
waiver from the state law requiring the chancellor to have
certain education credentials that Ms. Black, the chairwoman
of Hearst Magazine, lacks.
Mr. Steiner had expressed reservations about granting Ms.
Black an exemption and had made the appointment of a chief
academic officer a condition for considering her nomination.
The move is a major concession from Mayor Michael R.
Bloomberg who typically resists any intrusion into his
management of city agencies.
