Dennis Walcott, the new schools chancellor spoke to the Harvest Fields Community Church yesterday, telling teachers, “You will never, ever hear me say a bad thing about you,” according to the NY Daily News. However, Walcott also said that he would follow through with the Mayor’s threat to lay off 4,000 teachers.
The Daily News also reported that support for Bloomberg’s school policies has come to an all-time low, with 77% of public school parents disapproving of how the Mayor has handled public school policies.
