As the temperature outside is rising so is the debate around Mayoral control of the schools heating up. The present governance system sunsets at the end of June, and a growing coalition of parent groups and unions are demanding that their voices be heard by implementing changes in the law, so that the Panel for Educational Policy cease being a rubber stamp for Mayor Bloomberg’s policies. Of course, the real question underlying the governance structure is who gets to decide what kind of education our children receive. Four guests discuss the issue.
