New York City is creating quasi-charter schools with more autonomy, reports the New York Times. Joanne Jacobs blog nytimes.com Signaling the next stage in his overhaul of the city's public school system, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg announced yesterday that 331 schools, nearly a quarter of all of those in the system, would be given more control over critical decisions like hiring, teacher training, curriculum and budgets if they agreed to meet performance standards. Partly because these schools would largely operate independent of the centralized school bureaucracy, officials said the city would be able to cut a net sum of roughly 210 administrative jobs and pass on some $80 million in savings to the participating schools and related programs. Bloomberg was surprised at how many principals have jumped at the chance to control their schools.
