Subway: A/C/E to 14th St.; 1 train to 18th St
On Wednesday, May 30, join DL21C'ers for an important forum addressing one of the most pressing and controversial issues facing our city's schools.
Over the past decade, the New York City school system has focused its reform efforts on strong accountability systems and increased school choice options, among other tools. While there have been signs of success, some argue that this approach has come at the cost of meaningful community input and a highly-polarized battle over scarce amounts of money and space.
Join NY1‘s education reporter Lindsey Christ and two leaders in the heart of this battle: Marc Sternberg, the Deputy Chancellor of the city's school system who has been the architect of the school closures and charter colocations, and Deputy Majority Leader Leroy Comrie, who has led successful fights against both.
For perspectives on these issues, see this article about opposition to school closures, and this one arguing the need for closures.
See you on May 30th!
