Here is the scratch-pad for what's transpired so far. Here, we're deliberately ignoring the media attention, the blogs, etc., in order to focus on the laws, regulations, precedents and filings.

1. The filings: The Eric Snyder Petition, the Hakeem Jeffries Petition. And what's an Article 78 proceeding, anyway?

2. The Commissioner's Waiver Decision

3. NYS Consolidated Laws Education Law sec. 3003. Pay close attention to subsections (1) to (3)

4. The Commissioner of Education's Regulations (8 NYCRR) 80 - 3.10 (b). Browsing? You'll find under Chapter ii, subchapter 3: Teachers...requirements.

5. 8 NYCRR 52.21 (c)(3), which regulates School District Leadership Curricula. Is Ms. Black Qualified?

6. Matter of the Application of the Mayor of the City of New York and Klein, 2002.

7. What are the City of NY Chancellor's duties anyhow? To whom does she report? It's Education Law 2590-h
