New York City Public Schools Welcomes New Chancellor Amid Significant Changes
Changes in Leadership at New York City Public Schools
NEW YORK -- Deputy Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos will be the next New York City public schools chancellor, Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday. The announcement came after Banks revealed Tuesday he will retire at the end of the year. This change is part of a larger shake-up as Banks and several other top Adams’ officials had their homes raided and phones seized by federal agents earlier this month, though officials insist this retirement was already in motion.
What to Expect with Aviles-Ramos
Banks’ retirement will be effective Dec. 31. Aviles-Ramos has been overseeing family engagement and has received the mayor’s praise for her efforts to incorporate migrant families into schools. This transition is significant for New York City public schools, as it marks a new chapter in leadership.
