Mayor DeBlasio will visit Canarsie on Thursday to host a town hall on education.
Parents and educators will have the opportunity to bring up many issues that face students in the district, such as the co-location of charter schools in public schools and the need for more mental-health and after-school programs as a way to combat bullying and gang violence, according to James Dandridge, president of the District 18 Community Education Council.
Hizzoner is bringing schools chancellor Carmen Farina, and a slew of local pols including Borough President Adams, Councilman Alan Maisel (D–Canarsie), state Sen. Roxanne Persaud (D–Canarsie), and Assemblywoman Jaime Williams (D–Canarsie) are slated to attend.
