NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- New York City Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter started her first day on the job in Red Hook, Brooklyn at PS 15, The Patrick Day School.
Fifth-grade students Annabri McCloud and Maliyah Bell served as "docents" and tour guides for the new chancellor. Strung across the wall was a banner with Chancellor Porter's name written in glittery red letters, reading "Welcome Chancellor Porter, dream it, believe it, achieve it."
Chancellor Porter thanked the employees at the school for their work during the pandemic.
The fifth-grade tour guides presented Porter with two gifts to mark her first day, and the historic first appointment of a Black woman as chancellor.
