State-appointed administrator says he doesn't have "complete support" of education commissioner
Michael E. Glascoe, the state-appointed superintendent of the Paterson (N.J.) Public Schools, says he will step down in July because he does not have the “complete trust and support” of the state’s education commissioner, Lucille E. Davy. Paterson is one of three impoverished urban districts under state control. The others are Newark and Jersey City. Paterson, which has 27,200 students, was taken over in 1991 because of fiscal mismanagement and poor academic performance.
