The Point: Chancellor David Banks on getting schools back on track after COVID

The Point

David Banks is the “Energizer Bunny” of the New York City school system. He’s innovative and is bringing change to a school system that is badly in need of an overhaul. 

Banks inherited a school system that was reeling from the effects of the COVID pandemic and remote learning. He rolled up his sleeves and, in the words of Mayor Eric Adams, is committed to “getting stuff done.”
