Silver In No Rush On Mayoral Control, May 27, 2009
Just because the Assembly Democrats held a four-hour confab on mayoral control last night and reviewed Speaker Sheldon Silver's plan to extend the 2002 law another six years - with some tweaks - does not mean there will be action on the topic any time soon.
"There is no bill, just general concepts, our proposals to address parental involvement, to address transparency and keep mayoral control of the Board of Education (sic) itself," Silver told reporters today.
"This is an evolving process. It will not be resolved, either conference-wise or legislatively, for a few weeks."......
Asked if he thinks mayoral control will be reauthorized before the end of the legislative session, despite the fact that a number of his Democratic members aren't thrilled with the idea, Silver said:
"Yes, yes, absolutely. But I believe it needs the parental involvement piece, very much so, and transparency. My conference is on board with a lot of the issues. How on board is the issue that evolves.
