Mayor Bill de Blasio said that he is still weighing the fate of some key public school admissions policies — including whether to allow selective admissions at middle schools and geographic priority at high schools. “We are still reviewing all issues related to admissions,” he said at a press conference Monday morning.
This comes after de Blasio announced a series of changes last December he said would simplify admissions and make them more fair.
At the time, the mayor called for “a pause” on middle school screens, like the use of grades, test scores, or attendance to determine admissions; eliminated district priority, notably ending a longstanding policy that allowed students in Manhattan’s District 2 first dibs at the area’s more selective high schools; and promised an end to all geographic priority for high schools within two years. Hundreds of high schools across the city use residence as a factor in deciding who gets in.
What's the point? If Adams doesn't want to go along with the changes, they won't ever see the light of day.
Then Adams needs to declare what his position is now regarding zoned high schools so parents can make sensible decisions regarding their children's education.
Also all students will have the types of lunch he and his wife grew up with. Boiled meat lunch, steak tips, papa gino pizza and cream cheese and canned beans. BOS Red Sox hats will also be available to enhance the lunch experience. At no point will any spice or any sort of flavor approach these approved meals.

Pitch your ire at the mayor, Eric Adams,.. not at the ex-mayor.
