New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks has announced that he will resign on October 16, just over a week after he had announced that he would step down at the end of the calendar year.
"From day one, this administration has continued to prioritize the needs of our students. In advancing this mission, it became clear that our students will be best served by having the same leadership through as much of the school year as possible, rather than changing chancellors halfway through," a City Hall spokesperson said in a statement on Wedensday evening.
Speaking on Good Day New York, Banks dismissed questions over the timing of both his wedding and his resignation."I think anybody that would criticize me has probably never been in love," Banks said. On Sept. 4, the FBI raided the homes of at least 3 NYC officials closely connected to Adams, including First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III and New York Police Commissioner Edward Caban.
