The board officially approved the relocation and expansion plans today. My children will finally have the middle school seats they deserve because you refused to let this neighborhood be ignored. We should be proud of what we achieved together.

We, the undersigned residents of the City of New York, support P.S. 77 Lower Lab School’s request to expand its program to K-8 and support the relocation of P.S. 77 Lower Lab School to a potential new facility at 309 East 94th Street. Expansion and relocation of P.S. 77 would benefit all of District 2. A few of those benefits include: (1) create more District 2 middle schools seats; (2) open at least 16 classrooms for P.S. 198 which would provide P.S. 198 the space needed to expand its future gifted and talented program as well as create space for P.S.198 to expand to Pre-K-8; and (3) reduce the burden on already overcrowded and popular middle schools in District 2 where many P.S. 198 and P.S. 77 students go after graduating (e.g East Side Middle, Wagner SP, Upper Lab, Salk).

My son is one of the many kids waiting for these middle school seats to become a reality. We are almost at our goal of 250 signatures and I need you to pass this link to your neighbors right now to push us over the line.

Seeing one hundred people sign this in such a short time confirms that I am not the only parent worried about our children having a place to go. My own kids deserve a stable path forward and this count shows just how many of you feel the same way.

I have been spending my evenings drafting formal requests to the local school board to ensure they keep our proposal on the agenda for the upcoming term. The lack of available middle school seats is a reality that hits home for my family every time we look at the limited options for our children. I will keep pushing until the officials acknowledge how much this relocation matters to our district.

The overcrowding in our schools is getting out of hand. These kids need somewhere to sit and learn!
