Approve New Success Academy Elementary Schools in Queens!
The Issue
Opponents are attacking these two co-locations, saying there is not enough space – that’s false! The buildings are severely underutilized — there are dozens of excess classrooms that could accommodate hundreds of additional students. Opponents claim co-location is harmful — but there are more than 100 district schools in Queens that are co-located with two or more schools (see map below). Co-location also saves taxpayer money!!

More than 100 Queens district schools are co-located with at least one other school.
Please sign this petition and help us educate more children! Too many Queens families have been stuck on waitlists. Last year, there were 9,644 applications for 487 available seats in Queens — 20 applications for every open seat.
By signing this petition, you are urging the Panel for Educational Policy to approve Success Academy co-locations in Queens. You will directly help create more access for Queens children. Thank you!
