Boody principal calls new anti-bullying device ‘a win-win’
When Dominick D’Angelo became the principal of David A. Boody Intermediate School eight years ago, one of the key decisions he made was to confront the school’s problems head-on and not to sweep them under the rug.
At the time D’Angelo arrived, Boody had several problems, including a situation with bullying. The issue was so intense that parents didn’t want to enroll their children there, the principal admitted. “Boody was a school that nobody wanted to come to,” he candidly told the Brooklyn Eagle in a phone interview on Wednesday.
Boody, named after David A. Boody, who served as the mayor of Brooklyn in 1892, is located at 228 Avenue S in Bensonhurst.
