Two days before the fair, new high schools in short supply
This weekend, the DOE is hosting a fair for New High Schools, at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn -- but they still haven't published a complete, official list of all the new high schools that will open in September 2009, although representatives say there will be a handbook listing all the new schools at the fair. It's hard to know what will motivate parents to trek to a fair with incomplete knowledge of the schools that will be available.
Today's announcement lists seven high schools, including two Career and Technical Education High Schools, two transfer schools for older students, and two new high school charters. That's what's known today, Thursday, two days ahead of the fair. All of these schools will apparently be represented on Saturday.
The Manhattan Business Academy will open with a 9th grade class, in the newly renamed High School for Humanities Educational Complex(currently, Bayard Rustin) at 351 West 18th Street; it will share space with the Landmark High School(an established school moving into the building before September) and Bayard Rustin High School, as it phases out.
The Business of Sports School , a new small Career and Technical Education (CTE) school, opening with 9th grade in the High School of Graphic Communication Arts building, 439 West 49th Street.
City Polytechnic High School of Engineering, Architecture and Technology , a small CTE school opening in the George Westinghouse CTE High Schoolat 105 Tech Place, Brooklyn.
Emma Lazarus High School , a transfer school, opening in the MS 131 Building at 100 Hester Street, where it will share space with MS 131and Pace High School.
East Brooklyn Community High School , a transfer school, opening in a new building at 965 East 107th Street, Brooklyn, where it will share space with a new middle school, the Science and Medicine Middle School.
Believe Northside Charter High School and Believe Southside Charter School , two new high-school charters that will share space at JHS 126, 424 Leonard Street, Brooklyn.
