New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks is now in his second full year as chancellor and says he's still working to help parents regain trust in the school system.
He said people have concerns over the looming school bus strike, but "Negotiations are happening all around the clock right now.""Here's a bit of breaking news, the state is releasing the scores for our schools today," Banks said. "We are up in math and up in reading.
"It's more than phonics, it's fluency and comprehension of vocabulary and development, it's a very comprehensive approach but we are rolling that out now," he said. "We intend to get every student in New York City Public Schools on grade level for reading no later than the third grade and from there, they will be just able to take off."
He said the efforts to help the migrant children assimilate is going well. Banks said that the kids pick up on the language very quickly and that their classmates are helping them. "We've seen these mass shootings, these bad guys who walk into our schools and shoot up the schools, and thankfully we have not had that in New York City. But we have installed this new door locking system. We are starting with all of our elementary schools first, with our youngest kids. So, after the kids get in for the opening of school, we're going to lock that front door.
