Walcott Makes The Rounds

Schools Chancellor-designate makes appearance in Albany.

Schools Chancellor-designate has been making the rounds in Albany recently, in advance of his likely confirmation.

Recently, he posed with two state senators who have a claim on Forest Hills. To his left is state Senator Toby-Ann Stavisky, who covers much of northern Forest Hills. To Walcott's right is state Senator Shirley Huntley, whose legislative district also covers a portion of the neighborhood, including the Grand Central Parkway School.

Walcott is replacing outgoing Schools Chancellor Cathie Black, whose tenure was as short-lived as it was controversial.
