Brooklyn’s families and educators demand the reinstatement of a popular school superintendent after Chancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos Inexplicy shook him in a movement, critics sounded like a friend.
Aviles-Ros expelled Brendan Mims, the Superintendent of District 16 appointed by his predecessor David Banks, on Monday, to the office of the City Department of Education that celebrates student suspension hearings, the undenies say.
It was the first important change of Aviles-Ramos since it began as chancellor on January 1.
“We were all blind,” he told The Post Shalonda Vásquez, owner of a Bedford-Stuyvesant business and twin mother. “It’s unfair and makes no sense.”
Fabayo McIntosh, used to replace Mims as an interim superintendent, is a well -connected educat and friend of Nequan McLean, sources said. McLean is the president of the Community Education Council for District 16, member of the City School Diversity Advisory Group and head of the Education Council Consortium, an anti -racist defense group.
The sources say that McLean has “clear personal interests in the result” and helped to orchestrate the movement. He did not return a request for comments.
The DOE was refuted to explain the extraction of Mims, saying only that he serves “at will.”
The spokesmen would not say if Mims will keep their salary from the city of $ 234,029.
Mims, an educator for approximately two decades, was appointed by banks in 2022 in a bureaucratic shake, according to him, would make the superintendent offices more responsible.
“The man had unequivocal support,” said lawyer Marlon Rice, citing extensive participation of Mims “in the community.
“It is not only inflexible about children’s education, but also about equipping parents with what they need to do what they need to do for their children,” said Father Kelli Cooper.
A petition that asked for the reinstatement of Mims obtained more than 760 signatures from Friday afternoon.
Last year, the Community Education Council of District 16 requested that meetings address “concerns” with Mims, according to a message shared with the position, and brought the Stefani Zinerman assembly to their conversations with the city.
Zinerman said that the DOE has not given any explanation for the exile of Mims, qualifying it as a “personnel problem.”
“We thought everything was going well,” Zinerman said in a Thorsday Rally of about 50 parents, community members, directors and other school administrators outside PS 25. “Children are happy, people are robust, schools are robust.”
“We know that he did nothing against the law or against politics,” said the assemblyman.
Zinerman now demands that the city bring a mediator, celebrate a meeting of interested parties in the community and carry out a public review of the Mims Registry, he said in a letter to the DOE.
“This is not the first time that a superintendent in District 16 faces premature elimination amid a political or interpersonal conflict,” he said.
McIntosh abruptly left his role as superintendent assistant in Valley Stream, LI, in December 2023 to work for the attached chancellor of the DO or the school leadership Danika Rux, who was promoted by banks after her husband takes work consultations.
