City Council Members Brad Lander, Ritchie Torres, and Inez Barron introduced a package of legislation to urge the State Legislature to rewrite a law to require the use of multiple academic measures (grades, attendance, state tests, etc) rather than the current single multiple-choice test to determine admissions to NYC's specialized high schools. A hearing will be held on Tuesday, November 18 at 1pm in the Council Chambers on this topic. (to which all are invited to attend and if interested in testifying please contact Ben Smith as per below).
