Schools chancellor addresses District 21 parents and teachers
Co-locations, Common Core and school overcrowding were spotlighted at a Tuesday, March 15 town hall meeting between District 21 parents, teachers and volunteers, and Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña.
“We thank you so much for being here,” said Community Education Council President Heather Fiorica at the start of the dialogue, hosted by CEC 21 as part of its monthly meeting at David Boody Intermediate School (228 Avenue S).
Fiorica, flanked by fellow members of the CEC, read off a list of pre-prepared questions for the chancellor, including some about charter schools, inclusion and – specifically – local parents’ concerns about an incoming Hebrew language charter school
