Charter school mess spills into neighboring community
The fight over putting a Success Academy charter school in Seth Low Intermediate School in Bensonhurst is having an effect on the neighboring community, according to a local education official, who said the battle is spilling over the border between two school districts.
Laurie Windsor, president of the Community Education Council of School District 20, said that while Seth Low IS is a District 21 school, the future of students in her district is tied up with Seth Low. The school is also called IS 96 by educators.
Windsor testified at a Sept. 30 Department of Education (DOE) public hearing on the Success Academy-Seth Low matter.
