NYC Schools Chief Resigns, Replaced by First Black Woman Bloomberg 2/26/2021 Shelly Banjo and Nic Querolo (Bloomberg) New York City Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza said he will resign in March, clearing the way for the elevation of the system’s first Black female chief. Carranza, 54, has run the largest system in America for the past three years. He has battled Mayor Bill de Blasio over how to tackle a history of segregation in New York City education and accusations of systemic favoritism in the admissions system for gifted-and-talented programs. “It is incredibly hard to say goodbye,” Carranza said at a Friday briefing. “I am a New Yorker who has lost 11 family and close childhood friends to this pandemic, and a New Yorker who, quite frankly, needs to take time to grieve.”
