“#Three top DOE execs have now jumped \u2018Titanic\u2019 NYC school system<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza\u2019s top deputy has officially jumped ship, while another top educrat is joining a Department of Education exodus one observer likened to escaping the Titanic.<\/p>\n

Cheryl Watson-Harris, Carranza\u2019s first deputy chancellor for just two years, is leaving to become schools superintendent in DeKalb County, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta with 99,000 students.<\/p>\n

She submitted her resignation effective June 30, and starts her new job July 1.<\/p>\n

Also resigning effective June 30, The Post has learned, is Tomas Hanna, the DOE\u2019s chief human capital officer. The 6,024-student Coatesville, Pa., school district on Thursday named Hanna its new superintendent. Hanna, who makes $218,671 a year in NYC, will get $220,000 in Coatesville, officials said.<\/p>\n

Their departures follow Andre Spencer, one of the nine \u201cexecutive superintendents\u201d whose $209,000-a-year positions Carranza created after becoming NYC\u2019s schools chief in spring 2018. He landed a superintendent\u2019s post in Manor, Texas, with 9,621 students.<\/p>\n

Some DOE insiders say Carranza\u2019s executive ship is leaking amid the pandemic, the shaky switch to remote learning, and uncertainty of schools for 1.1 million kids reopening in the fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Titanic is sinking, and the deck chairs are being moved around,\u201d an administrator told The Post.<\/p>\n

Others say the DOE is flouting an external hiring freeze \u2014 part of citywide budget-cutting measures \u2014 by advertising nationally for candidates to replace Watson-Harris and Spencer.<\/p>\n

The DOE says positions are exempt from the hiring freeze if they are legally mandated or \u201cCOVID-related.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to DOE officials, the first deputy chancellor and executive superintendent positions are \u201cCOVID-related.\u201d But a spokeswoman gave no official criteria for that category, saying the roles are \u201ccritical \u2026 given the complete shift in how schools have and will do their work as a result of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some observers call it a giant loophole.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just provides a boiler-plate excuse for unrestrained hiring of central bureaucrats,\u201d said David Bloomfield, a Brooklyn College and CUNY Grad Center education professor.<\/p>\n

The DeKalb County Board of Education voted 6-1 Thursday to hire Cheryl Watson-Harris as its next superintendent. The dissenting trustee said Watson-Harris had never led a district and is not expected to earn a doctorate until next year.<\/p>\n

On her resume, Watson-Harris has boasted \u201crecord gains\u201d in NYC test scores in math and English under her watch, a claim testing expert Fred Smith disputed.<\/p>\n

Despite Carranza\u2019s disdain for NYC\u2019s selective schools that screen app<\/a>licants, Watson-Harris enrolled her own children in elite and less diverse schools, The Post reported.<\/p>\n

Watson-Harris makes $241,000 a year in NYC. DeKalb County will give her a $325,000 salary, plus perks \u2014 a $1,500 expense account, a company car or a $600-a-month car allowance and a $12,000 annual supplemental retirement contribution, the Atlanta Journal Constitution learned from a public-records request.<\/p>\n

In an internal memo, the DOE said it will conduct a nationwide search for her replacement.<\/p>\n

DOE spokeswoman Danielle Filson said the departures reflect well on NYC: \u201cWhen strong leaders within our system take their extensive knowledge and expertise to other districts it\u2019s a testament to the skills they\u2019ve learned while in New York City, and we wish them the best.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
