After making plans Thursday for members to return to Albany, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has said that the Assembly currently has no plans to return to Albany for a special session.
In a statement, Heastie said the Assembly is comfortable with a bill it passed in May to extend mayoral control.
"However, if the Governor and/or the Senate is asking us to engage, we would be derelict in our duties not to consider those requests," Heastie added.
The state legislative session ended Wednesday night with no deal for Mayor Bill de Blasio to retain control of city schools.
Wednesday night, Heastie insisted that his members were leaving even though no deal had been reached.
But Thursday morning, the speaker did an about-face, having his staff call members and asking them to come back midday Friday.
But eventually, the plan was dropped.
The extension for mayoral control of schools is set to expire at the end of the month.
Absent any legislative action, the city would go back to the old system of local school boards July 1.
On Thursday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo addressed legislation that would have given him a stronger majority on the MTA board, which also failed to pass the legislature in its final week. "I have six seats out of 14. Do the math. That is not a majority," Cuomo told the media.
When asked to give his overall assessment of the legislative session, Cuomo said much was accomplished, especially in the budget which passed in April.
The legislature could come back in a special session to approve mayoral control, along with local tax extensions.
Cuomo said Thursday afternoon he has no plans to call lawmakers back to the Capitol unless there is a solid agreement.
