Ex-teacher Farina to lead NYC schools
A former teacher, principal and longtime advocate of early childhood education will be the next leader of the nation’s largest public school system, New York City’s incoming mayor announced Monday.
Carmen Farina, also a former deputy chancellor of city schools, will bring a wealth of insider’s experience and fresh ideas to the job, Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio said.
“She knows it because she’s lived it,” he said.
