I can't be at the hearing at all because of my Monday work schedule. Is there any way we can e-mail the powers that be? On Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 9:56 PM,...
... the charter school at PS 92 and they are very much framing this as a racial issue. If you were at the hearing last night, it's actually kinda hard to NOT...
I totally agree with Carrie that there needs to be more outreach to PS 92 parents on this point and I have volunteered to help on this in any way I can (I...

I actually mentioned PS 282 as one of the Park Slope schools that is easier to get into, due to its gifted program, which accepts students from out of the...
... The statistic I heard (from the LGCS board) was 65% percent. At any rate, the school plans to open with 150 students, not 90. And each year it stays it...

Glad to hear you didn't think it was so bad. Maybe an opportunity for a dialogue is just what is needed. I completely respect and feel grateful to Renata,...
Dan, I think you're invalidating the feelings of one group while validating the feelings of another. Regarding the faux pas by the parent in support of the...
As a parent of children who attends a very successful charter school here in bed-stuy brooklyn and an African American, I can say that while it's important to...
I agree that a diverse staff is essential to sending a positive message about the openness of the school. Also, it might help to reach out to Explore Charter...

Well said, Johnny. I like especially the idea of constantly re-evaluating what you're doing and having the creativity and flexibility to adjust your approach....
Wow! I'm very sorry that I was not able to make it to Monday's meeting. I fully support the LGCS and I am not white. The reason I point this out is because I...
