Parents protested outside several Brooklyn schools this week after Mayor Eric Adams said the city planned to start using public school gyms as temporary shelters for migrants.

During an appearance on “Mornings On 1” Wednesday, however, Schools Chancellor David Banks said only one public school gym was currently being used to house migrants, adding that the city was eyeing the other sites as “options.”

“As it currently stands, we only have one gym that is actually housing migrants right now. That’s P.S. 188 out in Coney Island,” Banks said. “The others are under consideration because the mayor has to explore all options. And we’re certainly hopeful that it doesn’t turn out that those other schools in fact have to be used, but he’s got to make sure they keep all the options on the table.”

On Tuesday, Adams said his administration was considering 20 public school gyms as potential emergency shelters for migrants. Banks on Wednesday said Adams was “in a very tough position here.”

“The migrants are continuing to come. By law, we’ve got to find places for refuge for them, and the mayor’s doing everything he can possibly do. All hands on deck, all options are really on the table,” the chancellor said. “He doesn’t want to put folks into public schools and interfere with the routine of schools.”

Responding to parents’ concerns about safety, Banks said there would be no interaction between students and migrants, adding that only schools with “stand-alone gyms” were up for consideration.

“They are gym facilities that [have a] strong nexus to the actual building where the kids go to school, and they have to walk a certain number of yards to actually get into that facility,” Banks said. “And so they are looking at those places because they have less interference with the normal school day.”

Banks said Department of Education officials have been meeting with Emergency Management staffers, NYPD officials and members of the DOE’s safety team to ensure students’ safety.

“None of our students are going to be in danger,” he said.

The chancellor also shot down rumors that graduations or proms would be canceled at schools being considered as temporary housing sites.

“The mayor is just doing, I think, what he needs to do to be responsible,” Banks said. “He has to comply with the law, and we have to consider all the options, and I am working very closely with him on that.”
