Begun with best of intentions, a charter space fight nears its end

by Maura Walz, at 4:04 pm

Parents and supporters from Girls Prep Charter School faced their counterparts from P.S. 188 and 94 at a protest yesterday outside of the Lower East Side school building where the charter school wants to expand.

Parents and supporters from Girls Prep Charter School (left) faced their counterparts from P.S. 188 and 94 at a protest yesterday outside of the Lower East Side school building where the charter school wants to expand.

When Girls Prep Charter School first requested more space in the Lower East Side school building it currently calls home, its principal and the leader of the district school that shares the building said they wanted a peaceful discussion. That hasn’t happened.

Yesterday, parents from district schools squared off against their neighbors at Girls Prep, separated by a few yards of sidewalk, each trying to shout the other down.

And both sides had the same message: give our school room to grow.

The stage for yet another night of confrontation between the schools’ supporters was a public hearing on Girls Prep’s proposed expansion. The school currently enrolls kindergarten through fifth grade, but wants to add middle school grades. The hearing was packed, though not nearly as heated as a district parents council meeting on the issue held late last year.

District 1 superintendent Daniella Phillips speaks to a full house at the Girls Prep expansion hearing last night. Parents and supporters of P.S. 188 and P.S. 94 gathered on the right side of the aisle, Girls Prep supporters, dressed in orange, on the left.

At the hearing, teachers at P.S. 188 and P.S. 94 described a school building where lunch time begins at 10:30 a.m. and gym classes are held in a low-ceilinged hallway in order to fit everyone in.

“My son’s class is so crowded you can hardly walk through it,” said Tamika Phillips, the mother of a fourth grade boy at P.S. 188. “We do not have enough space right now.”

Alison Koren, a P.S. 94 teacher, said her classroom has been moved five times in recent years, including a switch from one building to another. “Just like you say, ‘let great schools grow,’” she said, referencing a slogan printed on signs held by Girls Prep parents. “Let our great school grow. Don’t take space from special needs children.”

Mary Pree, principal of P.S. 188, praised the cooperative relationship that the three principals in the building had built, and said that shrinking P.S. 94 would diminish the ability of students from the three schools to learn from each other.

DOE officials and Girls Prep head Miriam Raccah have said that school leaders at Girls Prep and P.S. 94 worked together to develop the most recent plan. Ronnie Shuster, the principal of P.S. 94, has declined to speak to reporters throughout the space fight and jokingly said before the hearing that her school was “trying to be Switzerland” in the process.

Harley Sanchez, the mother of a fourth grade student at Girls Prep, said that allowing the charter to expand into older grades would fill a need for better middle school options in the Lower East Side, where she lives. “Here is a school where all of the kids are passing,” she said. “Why are we fighting against that?”

A major sticking point for opponents of the Girls Prep expansion is the allegation that the charter does not serve neighborhood students. Just under half of Girls Prep students live in the district, but that percentage is likely to rise as more incoming classes are subject to a relatively new law that requires the school to give admissions preference to in-district students.

Some opponents of Girls Prep’s expansion argued that the school’s current make-up means that it could re-locate virtually anywhere else. Girls Prep parents, like one mother who lives in Brooklyn but works in the neighborhood, said that they were still part of the community.

Another new consideration raised last night involved the safety of bringing hundreds more students into the building. The DOE lists the school’s capacity at 1,010 students, but Benjamin Markus, the dean of P.S. 188 and head of the Building Response Team, which runs safety procedures at all three schools, called that number unsafe.

“I am in no way capable of implementing the school safety plans with so many students,” Markus said.

Markus said the building’s actual listed capacity is 920 people, a number the DOE disputes. DOE official Elizabeth Rose said that capacity is only for the cafeteria and that the building right now is only two-thirds full under current space estimates.

The plan, which the citywide school board will vote on later this month, will likely go through (the Panel for Educational Policy has never rejected a DOE proposal).

The conflict over the expansion of Girls Prep has also become a microcosm of arguments for and against the expansion of charter schools across the city.

Charter school supporters often argue that opposition to the schools has been manufactured by the teachers union, which they argue is threatened by the growth of successful, non-unionized schools. Charter opponents and union supporters respond that such a view dodges other criticisms of the schools like what they say is a failure to enroll as many high-needs students.

At the protest before the hearing, City Councilwoman Rosie Mendez arrived to speak against Girls Prep’s expansion. Girls Prep parents tried to drown out her speech: “Rosie works for the UFT, Rosie does not work for me.”

“I don’t work for the UFT, but I am proud to have been endorsed by them,” Mendez responded.

And the crowd of P.S. 188 and 94 parents and supporters took up a chant of their own: “Rosie works for District 1.”

Inside at the hearing, District 1 superintendent Daniella Phillips reminded the audience that however strong their feelings and whatever larger issues were playing out, attendees should keep their emotions in check.

“Everyone here has to come to school in this building tomorrow,” she said.

For a few years, I was on the board of an in-district “pilot” school in Boston which shared space with a traditional school.

Relations between the schools were frosty. (One difference b/w the case here was all the teachers were part of the union, so the union didn’t engage on the issue).

So while co-locations certainly have inherent challenges, some co-locations between NYC district and charter schools don’t create fireworks. They get along.

I wonder if Gotham Schools could profile one of those. Why do those pairings “work”?

What was the ORIGINAL space — and length-of-stay — request by Girls Prep?
How has that changed over time?

Per current DOE website:
PS188 = 385 kids, Pre-K thru 8th (406 per 2008-2009 Blue Book)
PS94 = 205 kids, K thru 9th (54 — not a typo — per current Blue Book)
Girls Prep….without a PS number, no typical school home web page on the DOE site for an easily comparable number (but per Blue Book, 220 kids.)

Per SCA Blue Book, in 2008-2009, there were 680 kids in a building that could hold 1,139.

Many years ago, I was with a group of parents who toured that building, as part of a School Leadership Team for a school that was growing every year and was struggling to find 2 more rooms so it could grow to third grade. The building is HUGE. It had one school then (The Island School with, then, maybe 300 kids) but the principal had managed to fill every single classroom with something, so she could control the building.
yes

how about the business of charter schools find their own space like all new business must do?
it is a business,don’t be fooled by the education title. if there was no money being handed to the charters from our taxes, the business people who have stumbled upon this great new scheme would not be involved. they would be selling something else.

Yes, as public schools, charters are entitled to use public school buildings if the local district so chooses. You can look it up in New York State Consolidated Laws; Education, Article 56, Section 2853.3(a), which says, “A charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building…”

And I’m here to remind you that the majority of charter schools in New York City were founded by educators, who formerly worked in other public schools and would probably still be doing so if not for this “great new scheme,” unless they were so fed up with the system that they left out of frustration. (I would have.)
Michael M.

KS,

Your first point is well taken, but per tale of woe after tale of woe here on GS, it’s the competing expansion interests that in virtually every case knock initial space-sharing deals off the rails.

Further, as I vaguely recall having once read, charters in NYS *outside* of NYC do have to get their own space. (If anyone has any info on this matter, thanks in advance.)
I noticed that…

KS, I would like to provide more information to the bloggers about Article 56, section 2853 with respect to “A charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building…”

“S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K, Bill number 9735, I N A S S E M B L Y January 20, 2010
Introduced by M. of A. WRIGHT — read once and referred to the Committee on Education
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the location and management of charter schools and the enrollment of students at charter schools

Starting at line 34:
(a) A charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building, in space provided on a private work site, in a public building or in any other suitable location PROVIDED, HOWEVER, A CHARTER SCHOOL SHALL NOT BE LOCATED IN ANY PART OF AN EXISTING SCHOOL BUILDING WHEN SUCH SHARING WOULD IMPACT THE PUBLIC SCHOOL’S ABILITY TO MEET THE CLASS SIZE TARGETS ESTABLISHED PURSUANT TO SECTION TWO HUNDRED ELEVEN-D OF THIS CHAPTER. Provided, however, before a charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building, the charter entity shall provide notice to the parents or guardians of the students the enrolled in the existing school building and shall hold a public hearing for purposes of discussing the location of the charter school.

Article 56, S 2853. Charter school organization; oversight; facilities
3. Facilities. (a) A charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building, in space provided on a private work site, in a public building or in any other suitable location. Provided, however, before a charter school may be located in part of an existing public school building, the charter entity shall provide notice to the parents or guardians of the students then enrolled in the existing school building and shall hold a public hearing for purposes of discussing the location of the charter school.”

What has been occurring in NYC is the failture to have these “public hearing for purposes of discussing the location of the charter school” For some reasons many of the CEOs of the charter schools feel that they don’t need to abide by these state guidelines and they are taking over space that rightfully belongs to the public school.

If you want to promote the expansion of charter schools in a public school space, then public hearings must be held and let the stakeholders of the public school make the final decision. Charter schools that feel that they can impose themselves into the space of a public school is looking for a struggle with the community at large.

Clearly, Mr. or Ms. Notice, you have an interest in transparency. And I support that transparency. I didn’t know about this particular proposed language. It sounds reasonable enough, though I haven’t seen any data showing that space-sharing with charters increases class size in district schools.

Unfortunately, I suspect this is the same bill that would, among other niceties, eliminate the most effective authorizer (SUNY) and subject charters to being the political playthings of the state comptroller’s office, an arrangement previously decided by the state court of appeals. The bill would put an end to many of the fantastic structural advantages charters have over district schools, namely autonomy, and to the delight of charter opponents, but the detriment of the at-risk communities and students many charter schools serve.

If it is transparency you seek, let’s name the core issues and come up with reasonable solutions that meet everyone’s needs.

For example: the issue of “counseling out” at-risk kids. Charters already have an overwhelming state reporting burden, and already provide a complete list of every kid enrolled, with OSIS number and other info such as special ed status, and discharge date, to the local district to verify/reconcile per pupil funding. Requiring charters to provide more detail to a state registry, such as some kind of lottery status or also to provide lottery outcomes details, would not represent an undue burden and would help provide data to the critics about the “counseling out” charge.

But please, please don’t make the State Ed Department the arbiter of all things charter. That’s a recipe that uses children’s futures as political pawns.

Michael M., I agree with you that the current situation with charters and district school space stinks. I don’t have any easy answers.

As for facilites outside of NYS, generally it’s true that charters have to find their own facilities. However, the mitigating factors are:

* Few locations have a real estate market as burdensome as New York City. A recent quote in Buffalo for school ready space was $4 per square foot. In Harlem, it’s anywhere from $25 (a good deal) to $55 (low-budget retail).

* In many other states – I don’t know exactly how many, or if it’s most, but I suspect it is – there is a capital allowance that basically covers market-rate rent. As you may know, charters in NYS receive zero capital funding.

That leads to a perfect storm preventing charters from being able to afford space, unless of course they are financed by a billionaire or placed in a DOE school. And that brings us back to our issue.

Pay charters out of state funds for market rate rent, and you’ll see fewer looking in district school space.

Girls prep is a tremendously successful school and there is a building with 2/3 capacity… I don’t understand how this is even a debate. Every single classroom in NY should be filled with kids before the SCA builds even more at billions of dollars of taxpayer expense.
http://ednotesonline.blogspot.com/ norm

“Girls prep is a tremendously successful school”.
Give me a break. If you are having a race with someone with one leg you will look successfu.
When that male autistic kid spoke at the meeting – and according to the principal 90% of the kids are males, did he realize the Girls prep people wouldn’t want him withint 50 feet of their girls. I once taught a 6th grade class for a year where 75% of the kids were girls. I was tremendously successful too.

As Rosie pointed out – see the video I posted at the GEM blog – why was every single request of every school to expand to the 8th grade turned down by Tweed? Except Girls Prep of course. What a racket. Maybe if PS 188 could find a way to contribute $10 million to Bloomberg they could get permission. This was such an important point it should have been made in the report above to give a fair representation of what is really going on. That the DOE is not an honest broker and has a pro-charter dog in the race IS THE STORY!!!

Check the numbers we posted at the GEM blog about the populations of the various schools.Who is at risk?

and Maxwell HS teacher Seung Ok’s piece How the charter end game will hurt public education.
http://grassrootseducationmovement.blogspot.com/2010/02/how-charter-end-game-will-hurt-public.html

And to KS: As you well know, you guys never stop expanding. K-8 is just not enough. You guys pick at the bones of dying schools – with the help of the DOE death squads. Before long Girls Prep will be asking for k-12. What next? Cradle to grave?
Roberta

Norm, I don’t understand all this hostility to the Girl’s Prep parents who, like all parents, want the best for their kids in the face of difficult choices and terrible schools available to them. The DOE sets up these terrible competitions between populations that are underserved (and badly served) throughout the city.
Roberta

Oops, just to update: I am a District 2 parent living in District 13, with a daughter who will be part of the Brooklyn Tech class of 2014. No wonk here!
http://ednotesonline.blogspot.com/ Norm

Sure they want the best- but that is unacceptable when it is at the expense of others. I had parents who wanted the best for their kids in my class but they never asked me to stop teaching others and teach their kid exclusively. Yes the DOE is using them but they seem perfectly willing to be used. I bet if all the schools in D. 1 were allowed to expand Girls PRep parents would not be happy. There is not a level playing field as the doe would not allow a public school to purge itself of boys.

Girls are not the kids that are having the most trouble in schools if you check the % of boys in spec ed.
jacob

another acerbic comment from Norm that offers nothing but conspiracy and unsubstantiated claims presented as evidence.
http://ednotesonline.blogspot.com/ norm

Try watching some videos Jacob. At every hearing I go to schools report how they are denied expansion while charters are never denied. No conspiracy theories here. But facts.

The issue is not about CHARTER schools vs PUBLIC SCHOOLS this is about a school (Girls Prep) that has a program that is working in a community that is struggling educationally to support the children of the Lower East Side. A lot of misinformation has been spread about Girls Prep mainly by the CEC that is supposed to be an unbiased panel but has shown nothing but opposition toward Girls Prep and the expansion of the Middle School. FOR THE RECORD – THE CEC, Rosie Mendez, the UFT rep for District 1 and many others has been invited and toured Girls Prep MORE THAN ONCE….FOR THE RECORD – Girls Prep gives preference to District 1 girls in their lottery. If parents of the district do not chose to utilize the school YES you will have parents from out of the district fill the spots that remain open because no school is going to turn student’s away that want to be at their school. FOR THE RECORD – We are a title 1 school, we have families who are homeless and live in shelters and girls with IEP’s. THERE IS NO SCREENING as part of the lottery. FOR THE RECORD at the Public hearing on Thursday 2/11 on the panel there were representatives from PS 188 and PS 94 but no representative from GIRLS PREP yet the words AUTHENTIC and EQUITABLE were being used by the CEC. MY MESSAGE is fix what is NOT working in Public Schools and stop fighting against expanding schools that ARE WORKING!!
http://ednotesonline.blogspot.com/ norm

Two contradictory statements:

“this is about a school (Girls Prep) that has a program that is working in a community that is
struggling educationally to support the children of the Lower East Side.”

“Girls Prep gives preference to District 1 girls in their lottery. If parents of the district do not chose to utilize the school”

So here is this GREAT school with over 60% of its slots available that has a program working in a struggling community – in your words.- AND THEY CHOOSE NOT TO ULTIIZE IT?

Something is very fishy.

“we have families who are homeless and live in shelters and girls with IEP’s. THERE IS NO
SCREENING as part of the lottery.”

Really? Did you go to the homeless shelters to advertise there was a lottery?

Let’s see: From the GEM blog. If you have different data share it.

Norm,

I love poster’s like you…ignorant to the core….Your comment…. “Did you go to the homeless shelters to advertise there was a lottery” Answer: NO, and I will not allow you to mock people in shelters. Don’t think that you are not above having a roof over your head and do not judge those who are struggling. Unlike the parents from PS 188 we don’t have to exploit our situations and children to gain sympathy….I don’t have to give your stats to prove that our program works. I am a proud Girls Prep Parent and will always be. It takes a certain type of parent to SEEK OUT A SCHOOL that is RIGHT for their child. It takes another type of parent to settle for what is easy for them. I’m here all day Norm…
http://ednotesonline.blogspot.com/ norm

“It takes another type of parent to settle for what is easy for them. ”

Obviously the parents in District 1 who chose not to send their kids to Girls Prep are not the quality parent you are. Confirms what I was thinking about the incredible arrogance exhibited by people associated with GP.
Rei

Norm,

Arrogant I am not…confident, intelligent, outspoken, the voice for my child, believer in Girls Prep YES I AM. The arrogant people are people like you Norm who are probably not a minority effected by any of this and are fighting a loosing battle. Here is a new fight for your Norm, start a campaign against Bard and Nest WHO ARE CONSIDERED District 1 schools BUT do not have many District 1 children enrolled in their schools. DON’T THE CHILDREN OF DISTRICT 1 DESERVE THE RIGHT TO BE AT THESE SCHOOLS??? When the CEC and the DOE looks at space allocations and expansions of schools in the District BARD AND NEST are NOT A PART OF THE EQUATION NORM, did you know that??
Ellen

Whoa! calm down. you don’t add anything to your arguments, pro or con, by calling anyone arrogant or ignorant.
lisa harris

give them the space they are doing a great thing for the community. give them a chance to expand the knowledge that they are giving to our future women, our women of tomorrow.

Let’s not forget, this school does not belong to the parents, or the cec, or the polititians, or the uft, it belongs to the children. It is a house learning! As long as there’s children willing to lean, we should make room for them. NYC school buildings have been making way for new schools for years, but now that it’s a charter school requesting more space some people feel threatend. You cannot deny the success of the charter school system! It should be supported & nurcherd by every concerned parent who wants a better choice for their children. Teachers who teach at charter schools are there to teach and truly make difference. There not there to seek protection from the teachers union or to find better ways to cut corners. Teachers unions can keep spending their money buying politicians support, but it won’t be long before more & more parents realize there is a better way and they now have choice.
Karen Sherwood

To Rei: I don’t agree with you, but thank you for clearly describing the new kind of tracking: not academic tracking based on the students’ own ability and needs, but tracking based on parental interest. Over 20 years ago, most high schools did away with tracking, that is, dividing students into Academic, Commercial, and General tracks–based on the students’ interests and the STUDENTS’ and the PARENTS’ own choice. Everybody was (supposedly) in the Academic track and preparing for college; although some students floundered, unable to keep up with the work and others had no interest in college preparation, the truly dedicated, academically able students had to see their content watered down and their class time wasted by rebellious, apathetic classmates who just didn’t see the point. The field of vision was further clouded by the (then) new Regents with its “new, high standards” (passing grade 55 ) and the administrative decisions to use “group work” instead of remediation or tracking to help academically weak students. Through all of this, teachers plowed on, attempting to contact parents, but often finding that 50% or more of them had no working phones or were unable/unwilling to participate with the school. And through all this, the DOE still told us that while our job was to bring EVERY student up to the standards, that we must raise our statistics, BUT that we could not eliminate or dismiss any student on our rolls, even those who had been absent for six months, or who had been cutting, fighting, or disrupting classes for months. “ALL STUDENTS WERE EQUAL AND ALL DESERVE THE SAME EDUCATION” said the DOE, and we, the teachers and administrators just had to deal with it. However, we still could not go back to tracking, whereby the the more able students could move on together and the other students could work at a slower pace and get remedial help. However, along comes BLOOMBERG/KLEIN with their swell new plan. “Small” schools with de facto tracking–Parental Choice! Why could the new schools select their students via interested parents, but the large schools could not get rid of problematic students whose parents REFUSED to help solve the problems? And why weren’t the new schools, with their intimate, personalized philosophies, not seeking out students with academic, attendance, or social problems, or students living in shelters and trying to help them, as per the “small school” philosophy. No good answer, except that the small schools were created as a political tool. I’m sure that most small schools are doing an admirable job, given their student body and extra resources, and I certainly think that a parent should look for the best school for his/her child, but what about all of the students who don’t have tuned-in parents who can be their advocates? What schools are being created or developed for them? Who cares about their well-being?..certainly not Bloomberg or Klein. I think that both of our illustrious educrats are hoping that they will just fade away, and them poof! Problem solved. “Great Success!”
http://sinksalive.blogspot.com KitchenSink

Geez, Karen, sounds like you wish all those dysfuncational parents who don’t care about their kids would just go away, the same attitude you accuse of Bloomberg, Klein, every small school and, probably, the “willing and able” parents who you believe populate them, of having.

When parents are treated as the enemy and denied access and real avenues for participation (as they very frankly still are in many district schools in poor neighborhoods), they’re not going to be motivated. And the school has created a convenient smokescreen for not dealing with the real “unable” issues you allude to, including finding alternative methods for involvement for single parents who work and go to school, and getting involved in the informal social and family support networks that do exist for struggling families.

That takes work. It’s much easier to step back, put up a sign saying, “PARENTS STOP HERE. DO NOT ENTER CAFETERIA” and blame them for not coming to school or caring.
http://nyceducator.com NYC Educator

That’s odd. My 25-year experience teaching in NYC public schools suggests that parents make a great difference when they come to schools. I’ve never seen a single parent forbidden or discouraged from entering a school, ever, and I’ve worked at 6 large high schools. In fact, when I’m unsuccessful in advocating for kids, I surreptitiously advise them to bring their parents to school. And when they do, they are usually successful. I make it a priority to meet or contact concerned parents immediately, just as I’d hope my kid’s teachers would do for me.

I don’t wish dysfunctional parents would go away. I wish they’d wake up, and stand up for their kids. I know I would. I’ve taught in poor neighborhoods and advocated for kids in poor neighborhoods–and I think your contention that parents are excluded from actual public schools is preposterous. Parents are the ultimate weapon. They help me run my classes when I need help, and I encourage them to stand up for their kids when my voice isn’t loud enough.

Unless, of course, you’re referring to the public hearings and PEP meeting in which Bloomberg and Klein ignored every single public school parent who got up to speak. If that’s what you’re talking about, you’re absolutely correct. It’s certainly the case in Mayor Bloomberg’s educational dictatorship that their voices are of no consequence whatsoever. Watching the Deputy Chancellor play with his Blackberry, utterly ignoring every word they spoke certainly bore that out. Watching the various other minions do much the same, and watching them ignore not only parents, teachers and students, but 4 borough reps suggested they didn’t much give a damn one way or the other. Watching them spout statistics they knew to be false was not altogether encouraging either.

I certainly agree with you that it’s undesirable that parents be treated as the enemy and denied access and real avenues for participation. This is just one more reason why Mayor Bloomberg’s utter lack of democracy does not work. Naturally, we should work together to change that, and create a voice for parents and citizens of NYC.
