Southern Brooklyn pol condemns ‘false’ email about her stance on the SHSAT
A group of southern Brooklyn parents have said their assemblymember is looking to scrap the Specialized High School Admissions Test. Now, that pol says she’s working to clear the air on her “nuanced” stance.
Assemblymember Mathylde Frontus released a lengthy statement last week detailing her position on the controversial exam, which she claims has come into question after an email containing “several falsehoods” went out around Thanksgiving.
The email — sent to parents, media outlets and other local stakeholders by a group called District 20 Parents for Excellent Schools — alleged that Frontus has “come out” against the SHSAT, and in support of an Assembly bill which would repeal it.
