Chris Cerf returns to the education private sector — but in Brazil


Since helping Mayor Michael Bloomberg win his third term last fall, former deputy schools chancellor Chris Cerf has almost completely disappeared from the New York City education landscape.
Perhaps he wanted warmer weather — Cerf is now the head of the new American arm of a Brazilian science curriculum company.
The company, Sangari Brasil, currently sells an elementary and middle school science program to school districts in Brazil and Argentina. It’s part of a larger international group that promotes science education, andrecently donated $1 million to help the National Science Teacher Association build a science education center in Northern Virginia.
