Did they honestly think that the crock of crap we were told about not being able to find space was going to fly??? Found the wrong community to mess with.

My name is Elva Croston and I am a concerned parent with a child who attends PS 160 in Co-op City in the Bronx. The DOE has already approved a middle school/high school charter to be housed in this "tiny" elementary school. Although, some parents are divided on this issue, the majority of parents are saying "NO". We had a march today to oppose this which can be seen on Bronx news 12. Another hearing is set for June due to a techinicallity on the charters original application. Apparently, the charter was already approved and set to open in District 12 but then the DOE decided to place them in District 11 without notifing the community first. The biggest mistake we made as a community is listening to those who think this move would be a good idea. The DOE is standing their ground to open the charter in September. But guesss what.... so will the parents!Concern parenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00605189427375601628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-35803268397322059462009-05-30T11:29:28.801-04:002009-05-30T11:29:28.801-04:00First off, HLA is not using public space at all- t...First off, HLA is not using public space at all- they'll now be leasing it, most likely from the Diocese of Brooklyn. This is what they should have done all along but obviously, they'd rather have had space for free.<br /><br />Secondly, I don't know what anonymous is implying about why this particular fight was such a success but I tend to believe it was the incredible outpouring of the community. Nearly a thousand people showed up for the hearing on the 26th, thousands called 311 and over 6,000 signatures were collected on petitions. Show me another threatened school that put up that much of a fight. And we still had plans for more. It was a well-thought out, well-executed effort. Don't turn it into something it's not.LQuinlannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-19599846071118180552009-05-30T09:29:57.023-04:002009-05-30T09:29:57.023-04:00Good news for Marine Park, BUT, this is a holding ...Good news for Marine Park, BUT, this is a holding pattern by the DOE. After Bloomberg wins a third term, and has retained most if not all the powers of mayoral control, my guess is that the DOE will unleash their full agenda with unbridled power and no consideration to what the educators, parents or politicians think. Charters, school closings, more and more testing, ATIS, tenure, all the reform nonsense they have been touting will be ramped up and shoved down people's throats...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-8295300511806454242009-05-30T09:11:54.676-04:002009-05-30T09:11:54.676-04:00Couldn't happen to a nicer billionaire charter.Couldn't happen to a nicer billionaire charter.NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-2983534934563029222009-05-30T06:14:07.570-04:002009-05-30T06:14:07.570-04:00Mazel tov!

I hope the people in the long neglected poorer part of Distict 22 are watching out for their schools because I wonder if those same politicians will defend them the same way they defended IS 278.<br /><br />Ira GoldfineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
