Statement of U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney on Appointment of Dennis Walcott as NYC Schools Chancellor

“Dennis Walcott is an excellent choice to lead the Department of Education.  In working with him, I have found him to be deeply committed to our city’s children and responsive to the educational needs of the district I represent.  I look forward to working with him to address school overcrowding in my district, waitlists, and other challenges facing our school system in the years ahead.  I know that Dennis and Mayor Bloomberg are dedicated to ensuring that all our city’s children receive a world-class education.”
