Mulgrew calls for panel meeting to be on school closings only | GothamSchools


Mulgrew calls for panel meeting to be on school closings only | GothamSchools:

"Teachers union chief Michael Mulgrew does not want to spend a whole night at a meeting in Brooklyn.


Mulgrew is asking the city to clear a long list of scheduled discussions at the upcoming citywide school board meeting at Brooklyn Tech in order to focus on his priority: protests against school closures.

Right now the agenda includes, on top of the proposed closures, a long list that ranges from approval of 37 contracts to new rules about how schools involve parents and teachers in setting plans and budgets. Some of those changes are themselves contentious and could prompt lengthy discussion."
