Second shakeup at NYC schools office that serves kids learning English

Chancellor Richard Carranza’s shakeup of services for more than 150,000 kids who are learning English in New York City public schools is running into trouble, concerned staffers charge.

Carranza, the bilingual grandson of Mexican immigrants, is overhauling the former Office of English Language Learners after attempts to fix the long-struggling division by ex-Chancellor Carmen FariÁ±a had mixed results.

Carranza rebranded the division as the Office of Multilingual Learners in November to add a positive spin and now he’s making more than two dozen high-level staffers in charge of policy reapply for their jobs.
