Ms. Black, who will be the first woman to hold the office, declined requests for interviews and the Department of Education said it will not be available before you start your new job. Among his biggest challenges is hammered Mr. Mulgrew a new teachers contract. The contract expired over a year ago, and speaks a dead beaten by Mr. Klein.
In addition to an income reduction of the state, another major challenge facing Ms. Black is that she will take over just a few months after the state has changed the ratings competition for public school students, a As resulted in tens of thousands of students who are considered not proficient in math and English than the previous year.
In New York, the number of students scoring proficient in English was 42% this year in mathematics, which was 54%.

Ms. Black attended private schools growing up in Chicago, and their children to boarding school in Connecticut.

Like Mr. Klein, who has no experience of education-administration to enter the job, but she has won more than 2,000 employees, while monitoring the financial performance and development of major magazines Hearst .
"I question the logic in appointing someone with no experience in teaching and we need someone with experience in education to know how to steer this ship," said Councilman Robert Jackson, a Manhattan Democrat who is chairman of education committee of the board. "I would not put as captain of the ship to someone who has sailed the waters take care of across the ocean, especially in bad weather," he said.
