The below comments expressing our concerns with the five year capital plan were sent to the members of the Panel for Educational Policy on May 17. A good article about some of the flaws in the Plan and the entire school planning process was published by DNA Info here.
Sabina Omerhodzic of CEC 30 also attended the hearing at the May 18 PEP meeting at Long Island City HS, and made an eloquent speech about the inadequacy of the capital plan. Nevertheless, the $14.9 billion five-year plan was unanimously approved by the Panel members, without a single question or comment.
The same was true of the proposed contracts, about which Patrick Sullivan and I submitted many questions and serious concerns on behalf of the Citizens Contract Oversight Committee, well before the hearing. Every contract on the list, totaling millions of dollars, was unanimously approved without any discussion or debate.
