Tax filings show that from 2006 to 2018, the Tisch foundation gave nearly $50,000 to the Eagle Academy Foundation, where Banks was founder and then president and CEO.
UPDATE May 2 - Monday night the community was ignored by one vote and these kids are being evicted into a smaller space.
Another assault on the poorest kids by the billionaire class with their little pet projects, even if their schools are technically not charters. The story I'm hearing is that most of the students at West Side HS live nearby on the west side. Some have children and their child care is near the school. The Tisch family has been anti-public education for decades with Meryl Tish being a Bloomberg agent of deform - and his next door neighbor. This Ann Tisch is her sister in law. Meryl Tisch daughter Jessica runs Sanitation Dept now.
Ed Notes has written about the Tish deformers for years, which I list at the bottom of this article.
Daniel Alicea covered the story on Talk Out of School on WBAI last night. He also talked to NYC Educator Arthur Goldstein.
Daniel's co-host Leonie Haimson has also been in the fight - also see her tweets below, but here is one about the corrupt relationships
Great story by Liz Rosenberg on planned eviction of West Side High—one of the city’s first transfer schools for over-aged, under-credited HS schools – from their supportive home, which includes a day care center for the young children of the students, a GED program and a full-size gym to make room for the Young Women’s Leadership School, part of a selective chain of schools founded by Ann Tisch, wife of billionaire Jonathan Tisch.
The Young Women’s Leadership Schools are a chain of district public schools, founded by Ann Tisch in 1996 https://www.studentleadershipnetwork.org/ about/mission-and-vision/
