Nouvèl chak jou New York | Jennifer Pringle, who directs the students in temporary housing portfolio at Advocates for Children, said that shifting shelter placements and frequent moves make kids’ education “horribly disrupted.”

She worried that students living at Floyd Bennett, who have been exempt from 60-day shelter stay limits, will be destabilized by relocating mid-school year.

“So as the city closes Floyd Bennett Field, it’s going to be really important that families know kids can stay in their own schools, that there’s busing available,” Pringle said. “… Kids’ education should not be left on the sidelines as the city moves ahead with these changes.”
