From the mixed-up files of Chancellor Cathleen P. Black

Everyone has their accidental email story — the “reply all” that shouldn’t have been, the mixed-up addresses and ensuing confusion — so it’s not a shock that new Chancellor Cathie Black has her own. Still, it’s amusing. And interesting that she’s taking a hands-on approach to small details.

Please be careful where you see the installers working. Thank you Linda Linda S. Green, J.D. Building Manager New York City Department of Education
