David Banks expressed concerns about Mayor Adams' ability to remain in power after the recent indictment, indicating significant uncertainty for leadership in NYC.
During a Zoom meeting with superintendents, Banks stated, 'I don't know if he can overcome this turmoil. I don't know if anyone can overcome this.' His sentiment reflects the gravity of the legal challenges facing Adams.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding Adams' status, Banks reassured superintendents that even if Jumaane Williams steps in as interim mayor, 'disruptions would be minimal' as they focus on educational initiatives.
Adams' incoming chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos was appointed just before the indictment; Banks reiterated that she will adhere to the same educational agenda, emphasizing continuity in NYC schools.
