Isaac Regnier, a seventh-grader in Brooklyn, gathered over 6,400 signatures to adjust the NYC school calendar, proposing to cancel a one-day school week before Christmas.
Concerned about low attendance and lack of learning on Dec. 23, Isaac aims to extend the academic year by a single day to prevent a disrupted week and cancellations of holiday parties.
Despite attempts to contact Mayor Adams and Chancellor Banks, Isaac's concerns went unanswered, prompting the petition for a sensible adjustment in the school schedule.
