Community Learning Schools Retreat (Brooklyn)

Dozens of educators, parents, and staffers from community partner organizations as well as the DOE attended a retreat hosted by the NYC Community Learning Schools Initiative. Two plenary sessions focused on mitigating chronic absenteeism and school-based health care. The retreat also featured five well-attended workshops in which participants collaborated with peers to strengthen their skills.

The Building Parent Programs workshop was an opportunity to collaborate with others. (From left) Chapter Leader Robert Karp of Community Health Academy of the Heights (CHAH); Maria Brancale, a resource coordinator at PS 78 in Staten Island; teacher John Arrona; and Mark House, a principal at CHAH.
