Zohran Mamdani Names Kamar Samuels as NYC Schools Chancellor
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to name a Manhattan superintendent as his next schools chancellor, The Post has confirmed.
Kamar Samuels, who currently works in Manhattan’s District 3, will take over the largest school system in the country with more than 900,000 students and 135,000 employees come Jan. 1.
Mamdani’s long-awaited schools chancellor pick was first reported by City and State.
The horse-race for the next top official in the city’s school system came down to Samuels and the current chancellor, Melissa Aviles-Ramos, who hasn’t been shy about her willingness to stay on the job.
