More jumping Carranza ship

Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza’s top deputy has officially jumped ship, while another top educrat is joining a Department of Education exodus that one observer likened to escaping the Titanic.

Cheryl Watson-Harris (far right), Carranza’s first deputy chancellor for just two years, is leaving to become schools superintendent in DeKalb County, Ga., a suburb of Atlanta with 99,000 students.

Also resigning, The Post has learned, is Tomas Hanna (right), the DOE’s chief human-capital officer.

The 6,024-student Coatesville, Pa., school district on Thursday named Hanna its new superintendent.

Their departures follow that of Andre Spencer, one of the nine “executive superintendents” Carranza created after becoming New York City’s schools chief in spring 2018. Spencer landed a superintendent’s post in Manor, Texas, with 9,621 students.

Some DOE insiders say Carranza’s executive ship is leaking amid the pandemic, the shaky switch to remote learning and uncertainty of schools for 1.1 million kids reopening in the fall.

“The Titanic is sinking, and the deck chairs are being moved around,” an administrator told The Post.

Department of Education spokeswoman Danielle Filson said the departures reflect well on New York City.

“When strong leaders within our system take their extensive knowledge and expertise to other districts it’s a testament to the skills they’ve learned while in New York City, and we wish them the best,” she said.
