Their "performance ratings" were no better than the other "failing" schools, but the fact that they have the largest alumni association of any high school in the country, which includes some very influential people, is the only reason they've survived so far. Other closed & schools under threat of closing must increase the membership and activism of their alumni associations. With mayoral control, there is no other public input into the fate of the NYC public schoolsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-28231136009484654842012-03-19T22:27:38.181-04:002012-03-19T22:27:38.181-04:00Every closing school should continue to rally for ...Every closing school should continue to rally for their school. If they did, we would have a continuous rally for over 3 months given the schools he has closed in his 10 years as mayor. Closing schools is never a solution. UFT where are you? CSA where are you? Stop cowering and step up to the plate. You have nothing to lose. Our children, parent and communities are losing. State Assembly where are you? Sunset mayoral control and lets create a new governance structure.

Of course we all know he does not close any school, but pretends to reorganize into a number of schools thus giving him an excuse to eliminate the higher paid teachers and provide space for his friends charter schools.What a sham!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
