Kamar Samuels is expected to be appointed New York City schools chancellor by incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Samuels currently serves as superintendent of Manhattan's District 3 on the Upper West Side and would oversee nearly one million public school students across 32 geographic districts. The appointment ends speculation that Mamdani might choose former U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman or retain current Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos. The timing is just before Mamdani's swearing-in, and Samuels's start date is unclear. Samuels previously taught elementary school in the Bronx. District 3 led shifts away from gifted and talented programs amid concerns about racial disparities and admissions screening debates.
