He invited educators and the media to attend his "State of Our Schools" address at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts High School in Queens on Tuesday morning.
Chancellor Banks touted the progress students in the nation's largest school district made with the city's NYC Reads program. "All in all, get this, over half a million students will be impacted by NYC Reads and NYC Solves just this year alone," Banks said. "So just picture this for a moment, if you walk into any Pre-K classroom anywhere in the city, kids will be learning from the same curriculum."
Just one day prior, New York City Mayor Eric Adams released his mayor's management report for this fiscal year, which assesses agencies performances from the year prior."Public schools are the foundation of both this city and our administration's priorities. From enhancing literacy to creating pathways for rewarding careers to investing over $1.5 billion in our schools, we are committed to providing the resources and support necessary for a world-class education," Banks said.
Last week, Banks spoke out after the FBI seized two of his cell phones and raided his home as part of an ongoing federal investigation into city officials.Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover? Send it to Eyewitness News using the form below. If attaching a video or photo,
