We would like to see 81st Street School become a true neighborhood community school. We propose that in 2013-14 it is redesigned as an elementary school incorporating the 68th Street programming our neighborhood knows and respects.
Why is this important?
Our neighborhoods need a quality, public elementary school. Too many parents and neighbors feel they don't have acceptable elementary options for their children, and as a result we see young families leave our neighborhoods as their children reach school age. Together with our Neighborhood Associations and our Aldermen, we're proposing to create a new, high-performing, multicultural public school
