Schools Divided by Space and Strategy | New York City News
Description
A Brooklyn school faces a tough choice: build a new wing on its playground to meet new class-size laws, or move middle schoolers to under-enrolled schools nearby. Parents push for the quicker, cheaper move, arguing it preserves outdoor space and saves money—especially since under-enrolled schools can’t afford art or music programs. But city officials stick with construction, citing long-term investments in teachers and space, and say splitting up the school isn’t popular. Meanwhile, the school’s art room is now a classroom, and the art teacher travels with a cart—just one of many trade-offs in a city-wide education balancing act.
