Abstract

This article reviews structural changes in New York City public school governance and policy with a focus on their effect in shifting education spending from the public bureaucracy into much less regulated private contractors, particularly charter schools. It will consider and critique the implications of these governance and structural changes for oversight, accountability, and the treatment of public education as a public good.

Keywords: Urban public education, governance, charter schools, mayoral control of public schools
