The leaders of New York City’s principals’ union over the weekend unanimously passed a vote of no confidence in the way Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza has handled the reopening of schools, demanding them to relinquish the process to the state.
The Saturday vote came after the city’s education department reached a deal with teachers’ union to allow staff who aren’t responsible for teaching students in person to work from home rather than reporting to their school buildings—another last-minute change made without the consent of school administrators, who argued that doing so would make the effort to staff their schools even more difficult than it was already.
