To the Charter Schools Institute:
We support the application for the creation of the Arturo Toscanini Charter School in Bronx County.
Schools in The Bronx are among the lowest performing anywhere in New York State, and our children deserve more opportunities for a decent education.
There is a child or children in our family that might be able to benefit from the innovative program and we strongly support its creation. It is important that all children and their families have as many educational opportunities available to them as possible.
Thank you for your attention.
Why is this important?
To broaden the educational opportunties for children living in Districts 8, 10 and 11 in the northern part of The Bronx, New York. We propose the establishment of the Arturo Toscanini Charter School which would open in September, 2014 for students in grades K-1, and expand each year until the school will cover grades K-5.
