Over the past many weeks I’ve traveled to all corners of the City and across all five boroughs to attend community engagement sessions set up by the Department of Education (DOE) to discuss needed reforms to the Student Code of Conduct.
As summer winds down and students start heading back to school, I wanted to remember the Freedom Schools in New York City this summer that were full of fun, fellowship and freedom! From Red Hook all the way to the Bronx, Freedom Schools served over 400 young people ages 5 to 18 years old.
