Eighth graders received their high school admission letter June 8. Many were enrolled in a school that was not one of their 12 choices. High achievers wondered the school DoE picked will fulfill their education expectation. Some low achievers were surprised of the decision. Parents fumed.
We cannot allow the Department of Education to lock-in their next four years. Ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio should not have been given mayoral control. If Mayor Eric Adams cannot find a solution for angry and abandoning parents, Albany should not continue mayoral control of the City’s education system.
