Robeson Hearing on 21st

Hi everyone,

Paul Robeson High School students are organizing a rally this Thursday and next Thursday from 3:30-4 pm leading up to the January 21st public hearing in front of their school to let the DOE know that they need support and resources for the school and not a phase-out as they have proposed. On Friday the 21st we will also have a rally from 4-4:45 pm. Please come out and support them if you live around the area. The school is on Albany Avenue between Dean and Bergen Street in Brooklyn. PLEASE save the date for our public hearing on Friday, January 21st at 6 pm at our school. This is an important hearing and people should arrive early if they wish to sign up to speak on the proposal to phase out
Paul Robeson High School.

Also you can call the DOE at 2123743466 or email them at HS.Proposals@schools.nyc.gov to tell them how you feel about their proposal to phase out the school. Attached is a response to the factsheet the DOE handed out when it initially proposed phasing out Robeson, which counters some of the claims the DOE is making that was put together by staff at Robeson. This might be useful info. to read before emailing or calling.

Directions to Paul Robeson High School:
The best way to get to 150 Albany Ave, (between Dean and Bergen Street) Brooklyn NY 11213 is to take the C to Kingston Throop Avenue. Walk up Fulton Street and turn right on Albany.
