2010

Her appointment to replace longtime Chancellor Joel Klein was announced on November 9, 2010 by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and became effective on January 3, 2011.

Black required a waiver to replace Klein, as she did not possess the education administration experience required by New York State's Education Department.

She was replaced by New York City Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott.

Black was previously chair of Hearst Magazines, a division of Hearst Corporation, where she was also president for 15 years.

She was paid over $2 million in cash and stock over her tenure on the board, and still owns over $3 million worth of company stock.

The mayor reiterated both the school policy against soda sales and his support for Black when the subject was raised after the nomination.
