The New York City Schools Chancellor is chairperson of the New York City Board of Education (Panel for Educational Policy) and leader of the New York City Department of Education, the agency that handles New York City's public schools. The Chancellor's formal title is Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education. The current Chancellor is Carmen Fariña. ==History of position under city Board of Education== While searching for a permanent Superintendent of Schools in 1970 for Nathan Brown, the Board of Education named Irving Anker to serve as Acting Superintendent until the position was filled. The Board had approached, and been turned down by, such notables as Ralph Bunche, Ramsey Clark, Arthur J. Goldberg and Sargent Shriver, before choosing Harvey B. Scribner, who had been Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Education and superintendent of the Teaneck Public Schools, where he oversaw the implementation of a voluntary school integration program.〔Buder, Leonard. ("School Board Weighs 6 for Chancellor" ), ''The New York Times'', June 19, 1970. Accessed July 28, 2010.〕 Citing what he called a "confidence gap" with the Board of Education, Scribner announced in December 1972 that he would leave his post as Chancellor when his three-year contract ended on June 30, 1973.〔Buder, Leonard.
