PS 15 petition to keep PAVE Academy to the 2-yr agreement

GEM met with a large group of teachers from PS 15 last week and they are a wonderful group of passionate and commited educators.

We find that many charters worm their way in by claiming they are looking for space, when in reality their goal is to steal the top kids and push out the public school and take over the building. Hey! Free is better than paying rent. The DOE cooperates fully in this process.

From our friends at PS 15 where PAVE Academy wants to break their agreement to leave after 2 years.

Please take a look at this petition.

All we are asking is the charter school to stick to their agreement...that is all.
Please keep forwarding this ... we need a lot of help.


There is a request for a donation not by PS 15 but by the petition web site. You do not have to donate if you don't want to.

This building does not belong to P.S. 15 or to PAVE Academy. Children are entitled to an education and both schools are providing that. Parents have a right to choose where they send their children to school. I find that this is more of a pride issue. If someone else can come in and educated these children then let them. P.S. 15, utilize your time and effort on making sure the children that are on your roster excel in all their subjects.

Mona,
Where do you get the time from your fancy office on Water Street? Shouldn't you be out around schools kicking teachers around?
