	Fiorello H. LaGuardia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LaGuardia was born in The Bronx to an Italian lapsed-Catholic father (Achille La Guardia), from Cerignola, and an Italian mother of Jewish origin from Trieste (Irene Cohen Luzzato), and he was raised an Episcopalian (most Italian Americans that are not Roman Catholic tend to be Episcopalian because of its similarity to the Roman Catholic Church).
		LaGuardia served in U.S. consulates in Budapest, Trieste, and Fiume (1901–1906).
		LaGuardia had remained Mayor of New York during this appointment, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1942 he was succeeded at the OCD by a full-time director, James M. Landis.

		The remaining three were charter schools that already had autonomy and chose to work with us because they wanted to be part of something larger with like-minded schools.
		There is no school that would not benefit from this relationship, even if it means that as a result of this construct it was determined within a few years that a school doesn't deserve to exist and should be closed down to give other people an opportunity to do a good job.

		LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts was the first school in the country to provide publicly funded professional education in the arts.

		Schools have yet to recover from cuts under his regime, she said, and although there have not been many more cuts under Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the funding remains flat.
