No honeymoon for NYC schools chancellor

NEW YORK

A parent group held a news conference Sunday at the Brandeis Educational Complex on the /*Upper West Side*/ to say they've sued the city for its plan to put a charter school in the building.

Later in Queens, /*state Sen. Tony Avella*/ led a rally of students protesting the closing of Jamaica High School.

Then in front of City Hall a group of students demanded a meeting with the new chancellor. They're asking him to stop closing schools in trouble. Walcott succeeds /*Cathie Black*/, who resigned Thursday after a rocky three months.
