Not mentioned in Nikole Hannah-Jones’ bombshell piece: Current
@doechancellor Kamar Samuels served as Brooklyn’s District 13 superintendent in 2019 to 2022, overseeing the middle school that the writer’s daughter complained had killed her hopes of getting into a specialized high school. Samuels also oversaw struggling PS. 307, where Hannah-Jones now regrets sending her daughter. Then-PS 307 principal, Stephanie Carroll, is now the DOE’s Director of Literacy, and the school still shows abysmal reading and math scores well below the city average.
