"Public school officials announced that the proposed changes, which drew parental backlash throughout the year, were withdrawn from scheduled voting on Wednesday at the city's Panel for Education Policy (PEP)."
"Nicole Brownstein, a spokesperson for NYC Public Schools, stated that after hearing the community's concerns, the agency withdrew some of its proposals from the April 29 PEP agenda."
"Parents cited concerns around pick-up and drop-off times, curriculum changes, and proximity to public transportation among reasons for opposing the proposals."
The Center School, P.S./I.S. 191, and the Manhattan School for Children will remain at their current locations after proposed changes faced significant parental opposition. The Department of Education had communicated with parents about plans to address class size and enrollment issues, but parents requested a pause on relocations until the 2028-2029 school year. Concerns included curriculum disruption and logistical issues. Following community feedback, the DOE withdrew some proposals, emphasizing the importance of integrated education and ongoing dialogue with families.
