De Blasio Says Schools Chancellor Announcement Will Probably Not Come This Week

From Politicker:

Bill de Blasio will be unveiling “important” new appointments in the near future, but don’t expect his schools chancellor pick to be among them
.
Asked today about his decision-making process for the chancellor pick, the mayor-elect described it as deliberate and methodical and said new candidates are still being nominated even as his January 1 inauguration looms a few weeks away.



“I think by definition, education chancellor is one of the most crucial decisions to make, but that doesn’t mean it will be the next announcement,” Mr. de Blasio told Politicker, speaking at a press conference today after attending church service in East New York, Brooklyn. “But it’s very much on our minds all the time. I think, you know, by the end of this week we’ll have some important additional announcements, but it will not necessarily be that one.”

More on this in a bit.
