Ep 33: Ending Mayoral Control, feat. Sean Ahern & Daniel Alicea
This week’s episode features a conversation with Sean Ahern and Daniel Alicea, two leading opponents to the mayoral control of NYC public schools from within the educator community. Sean is a recently retired NYC public school teacher organizing with the NYC Coalition to Finally End Mayoral Control (nycmayoralcontrolnot.org) and Daniel is a current public school teacher in Queens, co-host of Talk Out of School (talk-out-of-school.simplecast.com), and a Middle School Executive Board candidate running with UFC in this year’s UFT elections. We discuss the many problems with mayoral control and what our next steps are in bringing the system to an end.
