Brooklyn – State Senator Marty Golden (R, C) is pleased to announce that the community voice has been heard on the co-location of the New American Academy at Marine Park Junior High School.

Senator Golden stated “Once again my constituents came forth with opposition to a Department of Education plan for IS 278 and I made sure that they were heard. It is with great satisfaction that I announce this victory.

Marine Park Junior High is an asset to the community and I will continue to push forth their needs in future conversations with the Department of Education. The desire for a NEST program at this location has been brought to my attention and I feel it would further assist this hard working community. The children served by a NEST program would greatly benefit from the location in Marine Park.”
