Hiring New Admin (C30)

Here is what you need to know about the process of hiring administrators in NYC:

• The process is governed by the Chancellor's Regulation C-30. You can click here to read the process.

  • • • • Essentially, teachers and parents have some say in the process, but our role is, essentially advisory and is confidential.

Here is some commentary about the process in NYC.

• Daily New Article -- "Principal Selection Shrouded in Secrecy"'

  • • • • This documents how widespread the frustration with the C30 process is.

• Chaz's School Days -- "The Secretive C-30 Selection Process - The Reason Why We Have So Many Terrible Principals"

  • • • • This is an anonymous teacher blogger who gives some history on the micro level that some people might find useful.

• JD2718 -- "NYCDOE -- C30 Why bother?"

  • • • • This is another NYC teacher blogger. He is not anonymous. He gives some macro policy history of the C30 process and the changes that have taken place. Again, some people might find this useful. (Also, I emailed him to confirm that the information is still accurate -- as this post is 15 years old.)
