We Regret To Inform You
MARCH 29, 2018
A standing-room-only crowd packed into Brooklyn Central Library's Dweck Center for our third event, "We Regret to Inform You," which addressed inequities in the high school admissions process, a key driver of high school segregation. Students from across the city shared personal testimony about their experiences going through that process, and the unequal outcomes. But we didn't just focus on the problem. Members of our policy team shared a set of policy proposals that would promote integration by increasing academic diversity across the system. After the policy presentation, student and adult leaders discussed the enrollment issues in depth and agreed to take action to address them.
Big thanks to our adult panelists:
Panel for Education Policy Member April Chapman
City Council Member Brad Lander
Community Service Society Youth Policy Director Lazar Treschan
