While the city celebrates the success of Pre-K and the expansion of 3K programs, it bears remembering that not all city education programs have been so successful. The $800 million Renew initiative, designed to save failing schools, has pretty much been a bust. And, in the most diverse city in the country, New York City’s public schools are the most segregated. Add to that, many public schools face safety issues and children who are disabled, homeless or living in foster care are still left behind. Bronx City Councilwoman Vanessa Gibson has been a champion of school safety legislation and a graduate of the city’s public school system. She joins Cheryl to talk about what is being done, but also what needs to be done, to help kids who have been ignored. Advocates for Children are exactly that. They have been fighting for a fair and equal education system for all of New York City’s children. Policy Director Randi Levine also joins Cheryl to speak about the mayor’s failure to add the “Bridging the Gap” program, which places social workers in schools to work with students who are homeless or have other issues, to his most recent budget.
