New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks is retiring.

Officials insisted his decision was made before federal agents raided his home and seized his phones, and that of his partner First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright, on Sept. 4.

Banks, the head of the largest school system in the country, is just the latest top leader of the Adams administration to announce their departure.

It comes just one day after Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan announced his resignation for personal and family reasons.

In his resignation letter, Banks said he told Adams earlier this year that he planned to retire by the end of the year.
