 ***Wednesday Morning Press Bronx Conference Rescheduled to 12:00 noon***

Press conference demonstrating support for bold action to fix failing schools crisis

Since Governor Andrew Cuomo will be in the Bronx in the morning of February 18, 2015, this Bronx Press Conference has been rescheduled to 12:00 noon at the Girls Prep Bronx Elementary 681 Kelly Street, Bronx, NY 10455.

Senator Ruben Diaz Sr., Assemblymen Marcos Crespo and Mark Gjonaj, and Assemblywoman Latoya Joyner Stand with Prominent Clergy and Parents to Call for Bold Change to Fix Failing Schools Crisis.

Dozens of parents will join prominent clergy and elected officials, including Senator Ruben Diaz Sr., Assemblymen Marcos Crespo and Mark Gjonaj, and Assemblywoman Latoya Joyner at Girls Prep Charter School in the Bronx on Wednesday to call on Albany lawmakers to press ahead with bold, structural change to address New York City's failing schools crisis.

With nearly half of New York City's failing schools residing in the Bronx, elected officials will stand with community members, clergy, and parents to call for an end to the crisis, and for the expansion of excellent charter schools like Girls' Prep Bronx.
