RALLY to SAVE PS316, and PS9 in Brooklyn! This Saturday, Jan.29th
From Letitia James office:
NYC Council Member Letitia James, along with Parents, Students, Public Officials, and Advocates Rally against DOE Proposed Phase-Out of M.S. 571 and Co-Locations of Charter Schools at P.S. 9/M.S. 571 and P.S. 316/M.S.353 – Protest this Saturday, January 29th at 1:00 PM in the Basement of Duryea Presbyterian Church - 362 Sterling Place
Last Month, the DOE released the Educational Impact Statement proposing the phase-out of M.S. 571 - The Bergen Upper School and a re-siting and co-location of Brooklyn East Collegiate Charter School in the 13K009 building- The DOE claims M.S. 571 “lacks the capacity to turn around” and there’s a need of high-quality options in school district 13. Much like P.S. 316 and M.S. 353, the DOE is not allowing the possible expansion and growth of P.S. 9.
The community knows each of these schools was never given the chance to succeed and grow. We demand that chance!
WHAT: Rally against proposed DOE Phase-Out of M.S. 571 and co-locations of charter schools
WHEN: Saturday, January 29, at 1:00 PM
WHERE: Duryea Presbyterian Church - 362 Sterling Place (corner of Underhill Avenue), Prospect Heights, Brooklyn - (718)783-2451
