Blog chronicles Eva co-loco at K497 - on Baltic Street in Cobble Hill...


Inside Colocation

The public school where I've been teaching for the last 8 years has been targeted for a "colocation" with a corporate-model charter school. Most people, including me, don't know what a colocation looks like, though we've heard bleak stories. I've started this blog to document it as best I can.


This ad is in the subway stop near the school. This is my first time seeing an elementary school with a million dollar ad budget. Ads have been plastered on doorknobs, in stores, and in mailboxes all over the neighborhood. Well, not quite. The ads have appeared all over the affluent/white areas of the neighborhood, but are noticeably absent from the blocks inhabited by neighbors of color.

On Wednesday, January 25, the school received a shipment of these high-quality moving boxes, assumedly compliments of Eva Moskowitz. They were loudly rolled through our hallways during state testing. Guess it’s almost time to start packing up our classroom libraries and student portfolios.

    Eva is toxic to public schools. It's an outrage that she is allowed to exploit our school communities.
