Mayoral Control

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 03/20/2010 - 11:55pm.

Question for Mayor:

The graduation rate in New York City schools for African American males is 29%. Parents, the Hispanic Federation, and the NAACP are currently suing New York City schools due to continued increases in class sizes. All of this has occurred even with Mayor Bloomberg bringing millions of dollars into New York City schools. How will Mayor Duffy ensure that Mayoral Control under Rochester leadership will be more successful than it has been in New York City?
