A charter school chain wants elementary, middle and high school students to share buildings in southeast Queens. Many parents, teachers and students think the plan is inappropriate.

Success Academies, a charter school chain, is looking to fill what it calls"empty space" in public school buildings. But many students, teachers and parents say it's inappropriate and would take away programs.

Success Academies claims it has done this before and wants to do it again in August at a pair of public school buildings. One on Guy Brewer Boulevard has three middle schools, including a special needs school. The other is at Springfield Gardens Campus, which has four existing schools. "Programs like honor society, gateway, they would have to be cut out and these programs are the one's that are preparing us for college," said Najwa Waysome, a junior.

Orji said the school is so overcrowded that students are taking a citywide exam in a science laboratory. Moskowitz said the students wouldn't see each other often.

Anchorage Charter School asks school board to allow it to move into Abbott Loop ElementaryThe Alaska Native Cultural Charter School, which has long been searching for a permanent home, is asking the Anchorage School District School Board to consider letting it move into Abbott Loop Elementary should the board decide to close that school. Bad Idea. Teaching false history and 'Turtle Island' creationism will brainwash kids into a cult mentality. The LANDBACK crowd need to stay out of public school.
