Education department ignores superintendent-in-district law: Critics:
"One of the few changes to mayoral control passed in Albany this past summer hasn't been put into effect, advocates will charge at a City Council hearing on Wednesday.
After changes to the law, school superintendents were to be assigned duties only in their local district so they could focus more on parents' concerns.
But advocates said superintendents are still forced to oversee schools outside their geographic districts, making them less in control."
