Blow to Bloomberg: Panel votes down mayor's pick for schools chancellor Cathie Black
Tuesday, November 23rd 2010, 5:47 PM
In a stunning blow to Mayor Bloomberg, his controversial pick for schools chancellor got a thumbs-down Tuesday from a state advisory panel.
A panel of eight education experts voted against granting a state waiver to media exec Cathie Black, Bloomberg's choice to replace outgoing Chancellor Joel Klein.
"It came after a lengthy discussion. It was a confidential ballot," said panel member Susan Fuhrman.
State Commissioner David Steiner will consider the panel's input when deciding on whether to grant the waiver to Black, who needs the exemption because she has no educational background.
After the panel met for more than two hours, four members voted against Black, two voted for her and two voted that they wouldn't approve her at this time.
A spokeswoman for the city education department and a spokesman for Bloomberg declined to comment.
