Schools chief spurns New York to stay in Miami | Miami HeraldCarvalho had already privately accepted the job as New York City schools chancellor, which would have made him chief of the nation’s largest school system. Then, after a three-hour meeting in which School Board members, students and members of the public lavished Carvalho with praise, the superintendent appeared to have a change of heart.
“We may have the strength to break an agreement with an adult. I just don’t know how to break a promise to a child, how to break a promise to a community,” Carvalho said, speaking Thursday at an emergency School Board meeting that had been called to discuss the job offer. “That has weighed on me over the last 24 hours like nothing has weighed on me before.”

Carvalho said his decision was influenced primarily by Miami-Dade students who pleaded with him to stay, including two undocumented immigrant students who reportedly told Carvalho they were afraid of what would happen if he left.
And this is a guy at the top of the food chain too, and look at how badly he sucks. Keep in mind that all of this comes after a very long search during which there have been rumblings that almost no one is interested in the job.
