popular incumbent superintendents before consulting with families.<\/p>\n<p>The reverse-course comes after The Post reported on backlash from parents fuming that they weren\u2019t consulted\u00a0on the presumed ousting of beloved school bosses, and mounting public pressure from state and local representatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe central pillar of this administration is parent and community engagement,\u201d said Schools Chancellor David Banks in a statement on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter listening to community feedback we are inviting all incumbent superintendents to be interviewed as part of the community process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finalists from each district will meet with parent-led councils \u2014 many of which are scheduled for this week \u2014 with the opportunity for members, families and employees to hear from two to three candidates in addition to the incumbents, ask them questions and provide feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Banks will make final hiring decisions after incorporating the feedback of parents, union leaders, elected officials and community members, according to a DOE press release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will say a lot what the Chancellor decides, based on the feedback he receives,\u201d\u00a0said Deborah Alexander, a parent member of Community Education Council 30. \u201cI would hope that whatever decision the Chancellor makes, if it is in direct contradiction with the community, we\u2019d get some explanation as to why.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\"

part of a citywide shakeup intended to expand their responsibilities and put the most effective leaders in charge of the city\u2019s 45 school districts. <\/p>\n<p>The DOE ensured it would \u201cengage in a process that involves the community,\u201d but suggested last week it could oust some beloved superintendents before that stage \u2014 including 40-year-veteran Superintendent Philip
