MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG'S STATEMENT ON CERTIFICATION OF JOEL KLEIN AS CHANCELLOR

I am pleased that Commissioner Mills agrees that Joel Klein has the credentials to be our next Chancellor. He is precisely the type of person the law was designed to attract. He has the exceptional skills required to transform this massive bureaucracy into an effective, accountable organization that will give our children a first-rate education. I look forward to working with Chancellor Klein and the exciting team he will put together. I know they will work tirelessly to make sure that our children get the education they need to take advantage of every opportunity society has to offer.

"I would also like to thank Harold Levy for his hard work and support. He should rest assured that he is leaving our schools in good hands."
