42,000 per student, 100,000 less students enrolled, 1/3 of chuance every day, average fourth grader. 2/3 of them cannot read, write or do math at grade level. We have 200 schools with less than 200 students. There's mayoral control, but it's Michael Mulgrew, the union leader, who controls how these schools operate. I would conflate them and we got to cut that bureaucracy. If you go to tweet courthouse, an appropriate place, the home of Tammany hall for the Department of education, you have 13 deputy chancellors, 50 department heads. (49:48–49:56)
