 assumes office.

Adams is widely expected to name Department of Education veteran David Banks — who mentored Porter early in her career — as new head of the nation’s largest school system.

Porter ascended to the position after the abrupt departure of former schools chief Richard Carranza in March.

She previously served as a principal and later Bronx Executive Superintendent before de Blasio tapped her as his third and final chancellor.

The DOE described Porter’s new organization, The Bronx Community Foundation, as "the first and only community foundation dedicated to supporting and investing in community power to eradicate inequity and build sustainable futures for all Bronxites."

The agency lauded Porter for spearheading several initiatives during her brief tenure — including the controversial replacement of Gifted and Talented programs with a general enrichment format.
