GET US OUT OF SLAY HS

Transfer bids spike

Horrified by a brutal classroom murder last week, roughly 20 families have formally applied to transfer their kids out of Urban Assembly for Wildlife Conservation HS, The Post has learned.

Parents concerned about their children’s security are allowed to file a “safety transfer” request with the Department of Education, which confirmed the wave of transfer requests from the Bronx school Wednesday.

“We are reviewing each request and working closely with families,” said DOE spokeswoman Toya Holness, who added that the building has been stocked with extra school-safety agents and counselors.

A school source said that additional transfer requests are expected to pile up in the coming weeks and that administrators are bracing for an overall plunge in enrollment by next year.

In front of a full class, Abel Cedeno, 18, fatally stabbed Matthew McCree, 15, and knifed another boy who rushed to his defense and survived the attack.

Cedeno and his family claim he was previously bullied by McCree but the dead boy’s relatives have staunchly denied those accusations.

Some parents have lashed out at school administrators in the wake of the killing, accusing them of failing to follow up on bullying complaints and tolerating a culture of chaos.

Sources said Urban Assembly has been plagued by wholesale teacher turnover in recent years and is staffed primarily by young, untenured instructors.

While parents are free to apply for a transfer, removals are not guaranteed and depend on seat availability elsewhere and other considerations. Principals must first approve the application before it’s kicked up to other DOE officials who make final determinations.

“A student may also request a safety transfer in a situation where the student was not the victim of a violent criminal offense on school grounds,” reads a DOE regulation. “Such a request should be granted where it is determined that the student’s continued presence in the school is unsafe for the student.”

While these requests are no guarantee of a removal, parents of kids in schools designated as “persistently dangerous” by the state are guaranteed the opportunity to leave.

Still, that list has nearly vanished in recent years.

There were 40 city schools listed as “persistently dangerous” in 2014.

This year, only a pair of city elementary schools remained.
