The unexpected firing of Brooklyn Superintendent Brendan Mims by Schools Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos has sparked considerable community outrage in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Local Assembly member Stefani Zinerman reported a breakdown in relations between Mims and the local Community Education Council as one potential reason for his removal. Mims, known for his strong engagement and academic performance in the role over the last 22 years, has garnered community support. His abrupt dismissal during a critical period poses challenges for Aviles-Ramos as she establishes her leadership and policy direction amidst speculation about her future under Mayor Eric Adams.
"Mims has been an integral part of our community for over 22 years, frequently engaging with parents and students, and has been on the frontlines of improving academic outcomes."
"The abrupt decision to dismiss Brendan Mims has left many questioning the leadership style and decision-making processes of the new Chancellor Aviles-Ramos. It came without warning and has led to widespread community outrage."
