Plan for a Better P.S. 67!

P.S. 67 Brooklyn, New YorkThe children of Fort Greene are being failed by NYC’s Department of Education and the administration of P.S. 67!  These studenss deserve an excellent education and only the community can ensure that happens! Fort Greene SNAP invites you to a meeting to plan for a better P.S. 67!

Test scores of students at P.S. 67 in Fort Greene, released in late July, showed that more than half of the students in third, fourth, and fifth grade were below grade level in reading and math. More than seventy-five percent of fifth graders did not reach grade level in either reading or math.

(The scores are available here).

Fort Greene SNAP  hosted a meeting at 7pm on Thursday, August 26th at our storefront space, located at 324 Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn to address problems at P.S 67.

Discussed were experiences with the DOE and the administration of P.S. 67, discuss why student’s are not getting the education they need and deserve, and plan steps for ensuring that Fort Greene’s children receive a solid beginning in school.
