Buzzkill!

  On the heals of the nullification of the PEP vote which reversed the decision on school closings and the co-location of PAVE Academy within P.S. 15, a revised Educational Impact Statement was released today!  This document is available to view here.  In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling, it is uncertain whether releasing a revised version of the EIS is proper procedure or even valid, but in classic DOE style it is posted on the internet and ready for views and public comments.  You will find some changes in this revised statement.  At the very least, some of the simple mathematical errors were corrected and at the very worst, this document proposes that PAVE Academy will stay housed in P.S. 15 until their building is "completed" (in quotes because no evidence exists that construction has even started).  If this EIS is in fact valid, the heinous proposal will be up for a vote AGAIN at the next PEP meeting in April.

  1. Everything Klein and the DOE have been doing is illegal! They are bullying communities and acting in whatever manor suits them. It is disgusting and about time someone from some authority stepped up to the plate and said NO. The Bloomberg’s Rubber Stamp PEP vote was ruled invalid and Pave has to go. There is legally not enough time to go through the process again.
    Wait, the DOE will change the rules again to suit its needs, break more laws and do whatever it wants. This is their pattern. Everyone should watch closely what Mayoral Control lawless people do and how NY State elected officials allow these people to operate under this fashion. This is terrible!

Parents, Students, and School Workers at PS 15 Demand Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein Prioritize Spending for Public Education!

Public Education in NYC has faced over 500 million in cuts since 2009. The Mayor must seek other revenues instead of cutting our schools and other important services that are the lifeblood of our communities!

Bailouts for Banks and Wall Street but NOT FOR OUR KIDS? SAVE OUR SCHOOLS... STOP THE FORCES WHO SEEK TO DISMANTLE AND DESTROY PUBLIC EDUCATION!
