"I am thrilled to hear that
Lehman High School has been removed from the Department of Education’s
proposed school closure list. Given that they're in the middle of a new
turnaround program, Lehman should not have been on that list in the
first place. When Lehman was first placed on the closure list, I wrote
multiple letters to the Chancellor and delivered testimony, urging the
DOE to keep Lehman open. During this process, students, parents,
educators and community leaders came together to support Principal
LoBianco and her vision for Lehman High School. Under the strong
leadership of Principal Rose LoBianco, Lehman has been heading in the
right direction. Given the turnaround program's initial success,
we believe that Lehman should be given the opportunity to prove that it
can be a success. This decision gives us the chance to work together to
make Lehman great again for generations to come.”
Councilman Jimmy Vacca was also very happy to hear that the DOE decided to keep Lehman High School open, and said so at his 39th annual Birthday Party last night.
