The Parent Expansion Committee of PS 372 (The Children’s School) met with the Department of Education (DOE) on March 13, 2013. The complexities and underlying issues attendant to the principal’s decision to withdraw The Children’s School’s application for a grade expansion for the 2013-2014 school year were outlined and clarified. Generally, there are numerous additional issues that need to be explored and fully vetted before any further formal approvals may granted. The Committee is looking forward to a positive partnership with the school’s administration as it works with the DOE toward an expansion.
