The president of the College of Staten Island has been appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg to a
panel on education policy.
Dr. Tomas Morales, who became president of CSI in June 2007, was one of eight members appointed
to the Panel for Educational Policy, which was re-established Tuesday after Gov. David Paterson
signed the New York City school governance legislation into law.
The panel's primary responsibilities include approving educational policies proposed by the
chancellor as well as the Department of Education's budget, the school capital plan, certain contracts,
labor agreements and proposals for closing failing schools.
It existed from 2002 to last summer.
Each borough president picked one member and the names were announced this morning on Mayor
Bloomberg's radio show. At their first meeting, members will elect a chair.
The other appointees are Philip Barry, Linda Lausell Bryant, Joe Chan, David Chang, Tino Hernadez,
Richard Menschel and Gittie Peng.
