lifeisrosey lifeisrosey On top of that, this CWC "option," another K-5 school that this neighborhood simply doesn't need at all is being co-located in the only middle school in our neighborhood, one with a brand new principal, a Magnet grant, and a SIG grant. And remember, within wa...
lifeisrosey That is a "rosey" way to look at it. It's also inaccurate. Last year, for example, PS110 - an excellent neighborhood school, had to come up with 8 children or lose $50K. This is what under-enrollment looks like. The need and desire isn't coming from our community at all....
lifeisrosey But you see parents in the neighborhood public schools say the say thing about our schools, particularly in the area around where CWC intends to co-locate in Williamsburg -parents at PS84,PS110, PS34 etc., We're talking about public funds which should take into account sound ci...

SAUWmom WAGPOPS UWSdad latinomama 1. Sex offenders? Charter schools have them too. Accountability doesn't mean that there aren't corruptible people, but that systems are OPEN, transparent, and accountable to the public. Success Academy is NOT open and transparent or accountable to the pub...
nycparent The process to co-locate the school was not done well or democratically. Why do you think hundreds of parents and elected representatives are fighting in D14? That is precisely the story. Do you know what is considered underutilized space in public school buildings? Art rooms, scienc...
sachparent It is not accountability that makes schools excellent, it is what makes their use of tax payer dollars PUBLIC. Charter schools trying to integrate (get more white kids) is done at the expense of integrating public schools. The numbers and studies on this speak for themselves.
