The Department of Education’s “proposal” to phase out John F. Kennedy High School by 2014 and replace it with two New Visions charters beginning next school year is starting to seem like a foregone conclusion.
According to the New Visions website, the New Visions Charter High School for Humanities and the New Visions Charter High School for Advanced Math and Science are “opening September 2011 at Kennedy High School.”
Plus, New Visions for Public Schools and the Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition held a “student recruitment forum and information session” last night at St Stephen's United Methodist Church, according to an e-mail obtained by The Press.
Before the DOE can phase out Kennedy, the Panel for Educational Policy, with members appointed by borough presidents, must vote on the issue. There will be a separate vote about phasing in the new schools.
If you have an opinion about the DOE’s proposal to close Kennedy leave a comment and attend the public hearing on Friday, Jan. 28 at 6 p.m. in JFK.
