Communities beg Katz for more schools

From the Queens Courier:

It turns out that it’s not just western Queens that has a problem with overcrowded schools.

Community leaders from across the borough urged Borough President Melinda Katz to push for school expansions during a budget meeting on Monday. Katz is in the process of developing the Queens budget for 2016, and she invited the public to comment on what mattered to them and their priorities for 2016.

“We’re experiencing a huge influx of children and we just don’t have the space,” said Karyn Petersen, Community Board 10 district manager. “We could use more schools or expand the schools we have. Both would be preferable.”

Petersen’s wishes were echoed by many others. Across the borough, people are reporting an increase in population and a swelling number of school children. In Woodside and Sunnyside, parents petitioned the city to create a new middle school. In the Jackson Heights area, Giovanna Reid bemoaned the fact that a new high school hadn’t been created in decades.

A huge influx of children means "more illegals are popping out anchor babies" and "we expect more illegal children as a gift from president Obama"

Why is the BP the go to person for airing school issues? Why do we pay City Council members ? Why aren't they involved? What do they do besides mailing out Alternate Parking calendars?

PS...but maybe after she reads this post, she will cancel out.afraid to take any heat. Her assistant could be appointed to do the heavy lifting.

Enough with all these uneducated people and their under-educated children! NYC can not handle the mob - especially with their lack of English!

I'm sorry that they come from shithole Third World countries where imminent death is a real threat! But NYC has been destroyed - can they at least move to some of the unpopulated areas of the country?

I like when the city "creates" new schools by shoe-horning them into existing schools. Let's please make clear to Katz, that won't cut it.

kids flooding across the borders like an invading army... and they need barracks to sleep in, and classrooms to not learn anything in.

"more illegals are popping out anchor babies"

Those people just drop baby's non-stop period.
The children will repeat the process. 2 people can multiply to 18 or more in 20 years!!
They think they will go to hell if use birth control but it's ok for grown men and boys to rape 13 year old girls.
The schools, housing, police and food supply will never be able to handle this snowball reproduction & lawlessness.

I know the Pope and Catholic church over in Rome loves to hear this but these people are repeating how they destroyed their home country's.

Obamaa needs to stop destroying America.
Aside future democrats for life maybe the the government also views all these uneducated feral children needed for a massive future war. Education isn't important, 1 week boot camp and go. A war against Islam will be huge and savage

Solution:

Residents and members of the community should exercise more common sense going forward and stop having more children than they can afford. If they must, just have one child because anymore than that is a disservice to themselves and their community...
