NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — CBS2 has an update on a story it first reported Sunday night. As New York City schools operate remotely, some say a city day care program is turning away students with special needs. CBS2’s Lisa Rozner demanded answers on behalf of one mother, and Monday she got action. “She had to stay home. I was not able to secure any child care, so I cancelled my in-court appearance,” Kristin Bruan said. Bruan, a public defender with the Legal Aid Society , feels defeated by city schools. She spent Monday morning hearing criminal cases virtually, and had to isolate her 9-year-old daughter, Alice, who has ADHD, to learn in a separate room. Monday was supposed to be Alice’s first day enrolled in the city’s free child care program, known as Learning Bridges, being held at a tennis club on Roosevelt Island where Bruan lives.

On Sunday, CBS2 reported the site accepted — and then rescinded — Alice’s seat, saying it could not enroll children with individualized education plans (IEP) due to staffing limitations. The city said it would follow up with the family Sunday night. “No. Never. Not yesterday, not this morning, not today,” Bruan said.

We won’t allow that. We’ll track down that situation and make sure that that child gets a seat In Learning Bridges for sure,” the mayor said. MORE : Sudden Switch To Remote Learning Means Particular Challenge For Students With Special Needs “He’s lying… shame on the mayor,” said Bruan, who heard from parents across the five boroughs who applied for multiple Learning Bridges programs. “Just in the last 72 hours I’ve had about 30 parents reaching out to me, telling me that their children were also turned away because their children had learning disabilities.” On Monday afternoon, it was not the city, but Skip Hartman, who oversees the Learning Bridges program on Roosevelt Island, that told Bruan a mistake was made, and Alice will have a spot Tuesday. “It’s just three weeks. We’ve had to hire a lot of people. I did not focus clearly enough on the distinction between special needs children,” Hartman said. “As a result of the CBS story, I’ve had to refocus on that issue.” But Hartman only oversees the program on Roosevelt Island. Parents elsewhere said other Learning Bridges programs, overseen by other administrators, are not accommodating their kids. Heather Fisher of Queens said one could not accommodate her son, Jordan, who is on the autism spectrum. “And I was like, what happened if you have a student who needs a lot of redirection? ‘Well you know this may not be the best setting for them,’” Fischer said. MORE : Coronavirus Closure: Mayor De Blasio Under Fire As New York City Public Schools Return To All-Remote Learning Advocates for Children of New York said it has been getting the complaints, and has been asking the city to increase funding and staff to Learning Bridges programs. On Monday evening, Advocates for Children of New York filed a class action lawsuit against New York City’s Department of Education on behalf of students with disabilities. Link : Read the lawsuit (.pdf) “Tens of thousands of students with disabilities have gone months without appropriate educational services, with many losing the progress they had made. These students should receive the compensatory services they need as quickly as possible, without having to jump through cumbersome legal hurdles that will favor families able to afford lawyers and leave economically disadvantaged students behind,” said Kim Sweet, executive director of AFC. A city spokesperson said students with disabilities are being given priority, and small group sizes are being offered. He acknowledged Learning Bridges does not have the full range of support services as schools, and that it’s working to identify those for sites so the city can serve as many students with disabilities as possible. The city said it has accepted nearly 40,000 students into its free day care program. A little more than a quarter of them are special education students.

Weeklong Quarantine, COVID-19 Testing Required For SUNY Students Before Spring Semester
written by EugenioNKB
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Students attending college at one of New York’s public universities this spring will have to quarantine at home for a week, then be tested for COVID-19 , officials announced Sunday. The spring semester will start later than usual, on Feb. 1 instead of Jan. 22, and there will be no spring break, which was canceled to prevent the spread of the coronavirus through the end of the academic year. Graduation plans for the Class of 2021 will be similar to those for the Class of 2020, whose diplomas arrived by mail after scaled-back or virtual ceremonies. “The state guidance won’t allow for big gatherings right now, so unless something dramatically changes, we don’t see that,” State University of New York Chancellor Jim Malatras said in an interview. He encouraged campuses to take time they didn’t have last spring to be more creative with the next round of ceremonies. SUNY issued the spring semester guidance as students at its 64 colleges and universities statewide made plans to leave for Thanksgiving break later this month and finish the rest of the fall semester remotely. MORE: SUNY To Require Negative COVID-19 Tests Before Students Can Travel For Thanksgiving Before they return, after two months away, students will first have to quarantine for seven days. They’ll also have to either show a recent negative test or get a test when they return to campus. After that, the regular surveillance testing that Malatras said has allowed campuses to manage the virus this fall will continue. SUNY can process up to 200,000 tests a week using a $15 FDA-approved saliva test developed by SUNY Upstate Medical University, he said. “The testing has been the thing that has really been a game changer for us,” said Malatras, who was named SUNY chancellor in August. Since August, SUNY has conducted more than 371,700 COVID-19 tests with an overall positivity rate of 0.48%, officials said Sunday.

Expert: Parents Be Mindful Of Children’s Stress After Months Of Isolation Chopper 2 Over Empty NYC Streets, Landmarks Complete Coronavirus Coverage Several campuses have paused in-person learning after detecting outbreaks. SUNY Oneonta sent students home for the remainder of the semester in early September after off-campus parties led to a spike. SUNY Cortland also is all remote through the semester’s end after closing classrooms in early October. SUNY Oswego and Binghamton University have seen temporary stops in in-person learning. The spring semester guidance, developed with input from public health experts, faculty, students and unions, combines new protocols with some already in place, like mandatory mask-wearing even while social distancing, the chancellor said. MORE: Coronavirus Impact: SUNY Oneonta Sends Students Home For Rest Of Fall Semester After Cases Jump To 389 “The students really want to be back,” he said. “What I want to do is make sure that we’re representing what they want as well in the safest environment we can,” he said. New York state is scrambling to contain a resurgence of the coronavirus that in March cut short the last spring semester for colleges nationwide. Hospitalization rates have been slowly climbing in New York and the state on Wednesday began requiring many travelers to get a coronavirus test before and after they arrive if they want to avoid a 14-day quarantine. MORE: Tri-State Experiencing Another COVID Spike SUNY is closely watching developments, Malatras said, and will change its spring plans if necessary. Many of SUNY’s more than 400,000 students have continued to attend classes remotely even after the campuses reopened in the fall with classrooms, dining halls and residential buildings reconfigured to allow for social distancing. Under New York state guidance, colleges that record either 100 active cases or an on-campus positivity rate above 5% within a two-week window must pause in-person learning for two weeks.

Connecticut Begins Pilot Program Offering Rapid COVID-19 Tests To Students, Teachers
written by Marcelo9869
CONNECTICUT (CBSNewYork) — A Connecticut school is trying out a new pilot program that offers rapid COVID-19 testing to students. Gov. Ned Lamont hopes it can eventually be rolled out statewide, CBS2’s Natalie Duddridge reported Thursday. Tracy Aaron’s son is a high school sophomore in Stamford. He’s been stuck at home for two weeks because a classmate contracted COVID-19. “My son is now in quarantine because he was exposed in school. So, yes, I’m all for tests,” Aaron said. “Anything that can help, would be happy to have rapid tests in all the schools.” Gov. Lamont announced a new pilot program to try and prevent the spread and minimize the time students spend away from the classroom. It offers free rapid testing to any K-12 student, teacher or staff member who shows symptoms. “Gives the superintendent, the teachers here confidence if it’s a test negative. You don’t have to shut down, you don’t have to quarantine. You can keep everybody going,” Lamont said.

Expert: Parents Be Mindful Of Children’s Stress After Months Of Isolation Chopper 2 Over Empty NYC Streets, Landmarks Complete Coronavirus Coverage A Middletown public school is the first to try out what’s called the BinaxNOW test, which rubs a swab inside the nostrils then gives results in 15 minutes. If it comes back positive, that student can quarantine and limit exposure immediately. However, if negative, health officials still recommend taking a follow-up test to confirm results. Some educators feel rapid testing gives people a false sense of security. “Even if we have a rapid test, there’s questionability about the accuracy of the test,” said Ruth-Terry Walden, a high school teacher in Stamford. “Quarantining is really the safest and the best way for you to protect yourself and the community at large.” As of Thursday, Connecticut’s COVID-19 positivity rate was 4.2%. Many community members said they’d welcome any and all increased testing to slow the spread. “It’s not a 100% guarantee, but it still gives a person some assurance,” one person said. “I know it’s not accurate all the time, but I think that’s a step in the right direction,” said Jose Cleves, a Stamford resident. Connecticut’s education commissioner said dozens of school districts in the state have shown interest in the rapid testing program.

N.J. Superintendent Accused Of Defecating On Another School’s Track Resigns
written by LeonelGardiner
HOLMDEL, N.J. (CBSNewYork) – A New Jersey school superintendent accused of defecating on another school’s track and field has resigned. Kenilworth School Superintendent Thomas Tramaglini allegedly relieved himself on a daily basis at Holmdel High School’s track and field. Police said he was caught in the act in May. Former Kenilworth School Superintendent Thomas Tramaglini (Credit: CBS2) In a statement released this week, the Kenilworth Board of Education said the superintendent has tendered his resignation. He was already put on paid leave . “Based on events unrelated to his service for Kenilworth, it has become clear to both Dr. Tramaglini and the Kenilworth Board of Education that his continued service as Superintendent of Schools has become too much of a distraction to the main mission of the district,” the statement read in part. Tramaglini, 42, of Matawan, lives about three miles from the Holmdel track. He was charged with lewdness, littering and defecating in public. His resignation is effective September 30. The board of education is searching for an interim superintendent in the meantime.

NYPD Explorer Program Enrollment Soars In Wake Of ‘Justice For Junior’ Slaying
written by RaymonCarnevale
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – The NYPD Explorer program offers young men and women an introduction to a career in law enforcement. Lesandro “Junior” Guzman-Feliz was a member of the tight-knit team , often seen wearing his Explorer jacket proudly around his Bronx neighborhood. A dozen alleged Trinitarios gang members await trial in his murder outside a bodega in June. But in the months that have followed, his death has inspired other young adults to follow in his footsteps. “It gives them that opportunity, it opens that door for them,” NYPD Explorer Chief Anthony Vargas said. Vargas is the highest ranking member of the program. So he knows firsthand how much the mentoring initiative helps kids and young adults. “I’ve met many kids that’ve had these struggling times, even within the program. At the very start, they still have these issues. You can’t just expect that it’s going to right away, it’s a switch of a button” he said. He enrolled the second he was eligible at just 14 years old. Now at 21, the University of Buffalo student comes back every summer to help. “It gives them the guide to go to the end of the tunnel and see what it really means to be a leader in this world,” said Vargas. Since Guzman-Feliz’s death, NYPD Chief of Community Affairs Nilda Hoffman says enrollment has jumped nearly 30 percent. “To the Explorers, Junior now is like a hero,” she said. “With an unfortunate incident, our hope is to be able to save many other young people within New York City.” About 2,800 Explorers are stationed at every NYPD precinct and sub-division. They shadow police officers and learn about careers in law enforcement or criminal justice. They are also taught the importance of higher education, self-discipline and respect. “There’s resources out there, and here we are, here are the resources, they were always here. This program has been here for more than 20 years,” said Det. Roger Bennett, post adviser of the 44 th Precinct. Police officers who serve as advisers have a direct impact on the kids, like Jaleesa Ventura who started six years ago and says her advisers taught her the importance of community service. “I just love helping the community, being active, involved and just making people smile, and I like to make a change,” she said. Children wishing to enroll in the program need to be between the ages of 14 and 20 years old, but kids as young as 10 can start at some precincts. For more information, click here .

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The fight to insure that yeshiva students get a proper secular education is going to federal court. A yeshiva advocacy group had sued to stop New York State from implementing the so-called “Felder amendment,” an 11th hour deal to appease a state senator who was holding up the budget, reports CBS2’s Marcia Kramer. Critics are focusing their ire at Brooklyn state senator Simcha Felder, who threw the state budget negotiations into chaos and held up passage until he got an amendment to lower the bar on the amount of secular education required for yeshiva students. “He took the state budget process and abused it, and used it to get an amendment that doesn’t pass muster under the constitution,” said attorney Eric Huang. “It creates a carve out that specifically targets Orthodox Jewish schools. “It has an improper legislative purpose,” he added. Huang represents YAFFED, Young Advocates For Fair Education, which has waged an intense battle to make sure that yeshivas give their students instruction in English, math and other state-mandated subjects. YAFFED founder Naftali Moster was sent to one of these yeshivas. “I knew very basic English, very little math, that was it,” said Moster. “Basically I could string together a broken sentence in English.” He says tens of thousands of New York students are being shortchanged, an estimated 52,000 in New York City and 26,000 upstate. According to the Associated Press, an estimated 115,000 children attend Orthodox Jewish yeshivas in New York state. Many of the roughly 275 schools provide a full secular curriculum but the group estimates about 83 in New York City and 38 elsewhere in the state do not. Chaim Wigter is one of them, saying with no secular education, life was a dead-end. “Being in that school, I had no prospects,” said Wigter. “None of the kids really had any prospects. There was no such thing as having a dream job… you either become a rabbi or stay in yeshiva for the rest of your life.” The suit seeks to stop Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state officials from enacting the Felder amendment. A Cuomo spokesman said the law “sought to balance the unique needs of yeshivas with the high educational standards we require for every New York student, and we remain committed to achieving that balance.” “For too long lawmakers have turned a blind eye to this issue and allowed ultra Orthodox leaders to run their school with impunity,” said Moster. Moster also claims the city has dragged its feet in investigating his complaint, made three years ago, and that 39 yeshivas did not meet state standards. The city Department of Education told CBS2 they have visited just 15 yeshivas, the same number they reported visiting last winter. Senator Felder said he would have no comment about the yeshivas. Parents for Educational and Religious Liberty in Schools, which is not a party to the lawsuit, issued a statement to the AP saying the lawsuit “recycles many false claims about yeshivas that were previously made in Tweets, Facebook posts and press releases.” It said that the New York City Department of Education and the state’s education department were familiar with the curriculum in the schools. “We are confident that those who have made education their lifework will not be swayed by the inaccurate picture today’s lawsuit portrays,” it said.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – In a city full of electric, eye-catching advertisements, one controversial billboard is turning heads in Times Square. The pink billboard prominently place in one of the tourist capitals of the world says “Got cravings? Girl, tell them to #SuckIt” and features a smiling young woman sucking on a lollipop, which the company Flat Tummy says are supposed to suppress your appetite. Sophie Vershbow, 28, who has struggled with eating disorders in the past, says it’s nothing short of a dangerous diet ad. “It’s so potentially harmful to so many people walking by it, and I felt like we finally needed to take a stand and try and get it taken down,” she told CBS2’s Jessica Layton. She tweeted, “Hey Twitter, Let’s use our power for good by guilting @FlatTummyCo into taking down their Times Square billboard advertising appetite suppressants. Love, A former-anorexic teenage girl.” Hey Twitter, Let’s use our power for good by guilting @FlatTummyCo into taking down their Times Square billboard advertising appetite suppressants. Love, A former-anorexic teenage girl pic.twitter.com/Tiyj1fwrpD — Sophie Vershbow (@svershbow) July 9, 2018 “They’re creating the problem by telling you you need a flat tummy to be desirable,” she told Layton. “We need to give people the tools and the education to get them healthy and into a good mindset.” Vershbow’s campaign is catching on, with actress Jameela Jamil tweeting , “EVEN TIMES SQUARE IS TELLING WOMEN TO EAT LESS NOW? Have we actually gone mad? Why aren’t there any boys in the ad? Why is it (expletive) PINK? Because you feel men can look however they want? Their goals are to be successful. But ours are to just be smaller?” Some moms have called it a body-shaming billboard. “Obviously, it’s suggesting that if you have a flat tummy, you’re a better person, and I don’t link that message,” one woman said. “Not really offensive to me,” said another. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian have promoted the product, and while some people say you can’t police every sign you seen, the company’s claim that the 35 calorie pops are natural and safe have not be evaluated by the FDA, Layton reported. Flat Tummy has not responded to CBS2’s request for comment, but the company’s website does say you should consult your doctor before trying any of its products or any dietary supplements at all. The companies that own the billboard also did not return our calls or emails.

NEW JERSEY (CBSNewYork) — The first steps have been taken to transition away from PARCC testing in New Jersey, according to Governor Phil Murphy’s administration. Proposed changes include reducing the number of tests required to graduate high school from six to two and ensuring that educators and parents receive test data in a timely manner. The proposed short-term changes come after the New Jersey Department of Education held a two-month listening tour. The administration says the transition will be made in multiple phases. This report and draft regulations come from phase one of the transition. “By making the transition in phases, we can ensure a smooth implementation in schools across the state and maintain compliance with current state and federal requirements,” Murphy said in a statement. According to the administration, the NJDOE will be launching the second phase during the summer and 2018-19 school year. It will be focused on more complicated questions and issues with implementation. The PARCC, or Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, test was first implemented in March of 2015 as a new option for high school students to graduate. It gave students another option in addition to hitting a minimum score on the SAT or ACT college admissions exam or submitting a portfolio. It has faced controversy from parents and students over the years with many claiming it had teachers and students stressed and only focusing on tests, among other complaints. Many parents even had their kids opt out of the test . Supporters of the test said it was necessary to measure student performance and that students would benefit from being challenged by the exam.

NEW JERSEY (CBSNewYork) — In face of the opioid epidemic , New Jersey lawmakers have come up with a Narcan lesson for children, which they say could save lives. There’s a proposal in the Assembly to educate students in seventh through 12th grades about opioids. “I think at a certain age that we could possibly do that. I wouldn’t do something with children that are too young, but certainly children in high school that might be exposed to that,” one woman told CBS2’s Meg Baker. “They absorb more the younger they are,” said another. “The younger the little children learn about this disease – this epidemic that is not going away – the better off it is,” a man added. The bill goes one step further — if passed, students would be taught how to administer an opioid antidote, like naloxone, to an overdose victim in an emergency. Dr. Diane Calello, with Rutgers Medical School, compares the controversial teaching to sex education. “It would have to be done very carefully… I think the downside is it might convey that safety net message, on the other hand, naloxone can save somebody’s life,” she said. She said incorporating this into health education is the right thing to do. “We always talk about talking to kids about drugs before somebody else does, meaning a negative peer influence or media or social media influence,” said Calello. Other people Baker spoke with agreed the education is good for students. “You have to be a little progressive in this situation and it pays dividends down the future,” one man said. “It could save a life… You could have some kids that do dabble and don’t realize what they are getting into,” said a woman. “It’s a shame what’s happening with these kids are dying.” Calello said opioid education is just one of the ways to combat the epidemic. Other major efforts include enforcement, looking at the way doctors prescribe the drugs, and laws and regulations.
