MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG'S STATEMENT
ON DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DECISION
REGARDING DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION


"I am pleased that the Department of Justice has approved the provision of the historic school governance law authorizing the Schools Chancellor to select the superintendents who manage the school districts throughout the City. Chancellor Klein is committed to choosing exceptional and dedicated candidates to guide the schools in the local school districts and I am confident that his selections will greatly contribute to improving the education of our City's children.

"Today's decision brings us another step closer to establishing a system of accountability in New York City's schools and providing our children with the first-rate education that they deserve and need to fully participate in the American dream."
