Posted by Mayor Michael Bloomberg says the governor should dispatch state troopers to haul state lawmakers back into session. He wants them to approve the bill giving him authority over city schools.
The 2002 law giving Bloomberg control of the nation’s largest school system expired last month.
The mayor and the five borough presidents hastily appointed a school board to keep the system running.
Bloomberg has been urging the Legislature to pass mayoral control again before the academic year.
Senators passed dozens of other bills late Thursday and early Friday but struggled to finish for the summer, not reaching an agreement on mayoral control.
A Paterson administration official says it’s not likely a special session will be called before Labor Day.
