I have no idea what the Mayor was thinking in appointing a guy with no real interest in schools or background in schools, but this is to be expected. Being booed by angry parents at the news of school closings is hardly surprising, but trust helps overcome those problems and Huberman has none.

Catalyst points out that Eason-Watkins, who will stay on as Chief Education Officer, was not booed and even while supporting the closings of schools still had supporters in the crowd.

Huberman would be wise to handle the finance and operations end and make Eason-Watkins the public face for education.
