BX students protest DOE consolidation

(03/08/12) THE BRONX - 

Bronx high school students stormed out of class today to protest the city's plan to add a third school into an already cramped facility.

Students at Schomburg Satellite Academy and Bronx Regional High School rallied against the Department of Education's proposal to consolidate [ROADS] Charter High School into the same building. The schools currently share libraries, a gym and a lunchroom.

Nearly 100 students marched to the office of state Sen. Ruben Diaz (D-32nd District), where they received support from his educational liaison.

A joint public hearing is scheduled for Mon., March 12.
