Bring the December Panel for Educational Policy Meeting to Brooklyn Tech

The Issue

On Tuesday, Nov. 29 - without warning - the DOE suddenly moved the monthly school board meeting from Fashion Industries HS in midtown Manhattan to Newtown HS in Queens, an extremely inaccessible location for Brooklyn, Bronx and Manhattan parents, teachers and students. Considering that all of the proposals on the agenda for this meeting directly affect school communities in these boroughs - especially the proposed co-locations in Brooklyn - we DEMAND that the meeting be returned to Brooklyn Technical HS in downtown Brooklyn.
