    Dear Senator Rivera,

    Thank you for standing up for the schools that Governor Cuomo has put on his list of “failing schools.” If the governor were genuinely interested in the well-being of the students who attend these schools, as he claims, he would fund the schools and give support to their efforts.

    To close a school is to kill a community. We watched the horrible and destructive process of school closures under Mayor Bloomberg, and we are now experiencing the dread all over again. As we read the governor’s plan it feels as if we are overhearing a murder being plotted and we wonder if we will be able to stop it.

    Of the 90 New York City schools the governor is targeting, 44 of them are in the Bronx. We must stop the governor and save these schools, along with the others across New York City and New York State, and your letter is a start. Thank you for telling it like it is.
