These two bonus episodes were recorded live at the Queens Public Library on December 15, 2022.
First, Mark and Max interview New York City Schools Chancellor David C. Banks. At the end of his first year on the job, does the Chancellor think diversity planning will ever come back — and if not, why not?
Then, Mark and Max reflect on the Chancellor’s remarks and take questions about the making of School Colors, why they chose District 28, and what they learned.
This event was co-produced with The CITY and Chalkbeat New York, and moderated by Chalkbeat’s Reema Amin.
