Gowanus Principal at the Forefront of Making City Schools More Diverse
(DNAINFO) Leslie Albrecht | December 6, 2015 — Many schools claim to be special, but the Children’s School is truly unique in the city.
General education and special needs kids learn side by side in every single classroom through a one-of-a-kind partnership between Brooklyn’s District 15 and District 75, which serves special needs children.
Next fall, the school will take another step toward embracing a varied student body when it joins six other schools citywide participating in a pilot program to boost diversity. A third of the school’s seats will be set aside for kids who are learning English and kids who receive free or reduced price lunches.
