Authorize the Staten Island Green Charter School, Governor Cuomo!
The opening of the Staten Island Green Charter School has been held up for 5 years. In the 2014 Cycle, the school was selected in Round 1, and then not moved on in Round 2 in July 2015 with the identical information. Our board of Directors is stellar, and we have a 501c3 , and are presently partnering with the Brooklyn Nets to form a Staten Island Jr. Nets program to increase fitness and reduce childhood obesity. We need to be approved now! We have over 500 students waiting to sign up for our school. Our borough needs another elementary charter school . The focus of our school is on the environment, and we partner with Blue Heron Park for our hands-on learning projects. Please do not deny our students a chance for success! Approve our school now and lets get the doors open in 2017! We are ready, so let's get the wheels turning for this great learning program!
Why is this important?
Students on Staten Island need to learn about health and wellness and the scientific discoveries needed to create an energy efficient and sustainable environment. I am personally engaged in this project as a former Staten Island resident and a current teacher of children in a high needs school in Harlem. My mission is to improve scientific knowledge and discovery for poor urban children who have diverse learning needs, and for children living under emotional distress. It's time to use the taxpayers' money for schools that represent the needs of the community.
We are the first organization to begin a health and wellness and recycling program as a community group trying to get the school launched as a K-5 school. We will begin the school with a K and 1 program in year 1. Hopefully year 1 will be now!
