    NY Daily News | To get shelter, parents will often have to pull their children out of school the day they apply.

    “Here you have schools that have invested in staffing and resources to support newcomer families, and have developed relationships with parents, with students,” said Pringle. “And now you’re going to have a revolving door. It just — it doesn’t make any sense.” 阅读文章
