Queens parents are rallying behind longtime superintendent Dr. Philip A. Composto, who they said was let go from his position without explanation or consultation. Thousands have signed a petition, and hundreds attended a virtual rally Thursday.
Protests followed news that popular veteran superintendant Philip Composto had lost his job.Queens parents are rallying behind a longtime superintendent who they said was let go from his position, part of a broader shakeup of the education department’s bureaucracy by Schools Chancellor David Banks.
Since he was appointed by Mayor Eric Adams, Banks has been outspoken about plans to streamline the sprawling education department bureaucracy and redirect resources to schools. He has said he is eliminating the executive superintendent position created by former Chancellor Richard Carranza, and will have all superintendents reapply for their roles.
“As part of the first stage in this process, leadership put 130 potential candidates through a rigorous interview process and advanced the two or three best candidates for each district that fit this reimagined role,” Styer said. “We are proud that we are putting the strongest candidates in front of parents and community members at public town halls and will receive their input on the final selection decisions.
“He is reforming a school system that has been dysfunctional and that has been broken for so long,” Adams said. “One of the things he must do is he must put in place his generals that are going to be in charge.” He added that officials will have “community stakeholders” interview the top two candidates for each role. It is not yet clear who those stakeholders will be and how these interviews will take place.
