Elizabeth, where’s GS’s article “As school budgets were cut, the NYC DOE hires more Deputy Chancellors and attorneys”???????????????????
I noticed that…
Isn’t anyone doing research on the inverse relation, with respect to the budget, of the lay offs of city workers and the NYC DOE’s human capital increase?

I’ve never seen GothamSchools question the NYC DOE’s habit of hiring more deputy chancellors, attorneys, and their shady contracts. Fair and balanced, my butt.
