While GothamSchools joined Chancellor Klein on his annual five-borough, back-to-school tour, The New York Times' City Room blog followed a few students as they embark on a new school year. We were particularly intrigued by the scene at PS 19 in Corona, Queens, where the Times said "confusion reigned."
Though the K-5 school enrolls nearly 2,000 students and some classes are housed in trailers, the line of families hoping to enroll their children "extended down the better part of the block." According to the post, the school is one of 27 that still had a kindergarten wait list in July.
What was the scene like at your school this morning? Does your school still have students waiting to enroll? Let us know below.
