BOROUGH PRESIDENTS ADAMS & DIAZ TO HOST GIFTED AND TALENTED EDUCATION HEARING Monday, March 20, 2017


On Monday, March 20, 2017, Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams and Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. will co-host a joint hearing of their recently announced “Gifted & Talented Task Force,” which will study issues surrounding gifted and talented education in New York City public schools, as well as the admissions process for the city's specialized high schools.

The hearing, which will solicit public comment on the state of gifted education in the city’s public school system, will take place at the Bronx High School of Science, 75 West 205th Street, Bronx, from 6:00 p.m.—8:00 p.m.

The task force, which was launched in January, is comprised of government officials, community members and parents who are familiar with the issues gifted students face in New York City schools.  The task force will release a set of recommendations for the future of gifted education in New York City later this year.
