City broke its word: charter

Still no space for 250 Qns. kids

Success Academy officials claim the city is leaving 250 Queens students in the lurch once again.

The city’s largest charter operator said on Friday that officials promised to provide the kids space for next year but have since reneged.

According to the network, Mayor de Blasio granted the students middleschool space at IS Susan B. Anthony Academy in Hollis this year to afford time to find them a permanent home.

“In the intervening nine months, the city has not found a permanent location for them, and now City Hall is threatening to evict them from IS 238, leaving them without a place to learn,” Success Academy said.

The charter is pushing for the city to either renew the spot at IS 238 — which was never put to use due to the pandemic — or find an alternate location before documentation is required by March 12.

“Our parents have been waiting four long years to ensure that their children have a first-rate education — and yet the mayor has failed them once again,” Success Academy CEO Eva Moskowitz said in a statement.

The network said the city has aimed to “sharply reduce” co-location approvals for charter schools and instead steered them to seek private space “at taxpayer expense.”

The Department of Education did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Success Academy operates 47 schools in Brooklyn, The Bronx, Manhattan and Queens and enrolls about 20,000 students. It has continually clashed with de Blasio over a range of issues from school space to the use of athletic fields.
