Rumors are swirling about who will be picked to run New York City’s schools.
Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennet is reportedly on the shortlist, according to various reports from New York media.
But CPS spokesman Joel Hood said Byrd-Bennett is staying in Chicago.
“Barbara Byrd-Bennett has not had a single conversation with anyone in New York about the chancellor’s job,” Hood said in a statement. “She remains committed to Chicago and continuing her great work for the children of Chicago Public Schools.”
