Parents of a Coney Island school call out admin for poor leadership

After multiple cases of bullying and concerns of negligent administration, a group of fed up Coney Island parents call on local pols to help them address their concerns of poor leadership at P.S. 90 elementary school, namely Greta Hawkins, the school’s principal.

Parents brought their complaints to Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton and Council Member Justin Brannan who will speak to DOE leaders, according to a spokesperson from the state legislator’s office.

According to Anayeli Esquivel, one mom who says the bullying in the school has gotten so bad she has become desperate for a change, her son Bryan was hurt in a bullying accident on November 9, 2022 when an older student allegedly crushed his fingers in the door.

“Since then I feel desperate, sad and furious at the same time to see that my children are not safe in that school,” she told Brooklyn Paper. 

Senator Scarcella-Spanton will meet with DOE leadership on Thursday, May 4.
