Isn’t the problem that the State Education Department won’t approve the transfer of the Little Room to the new sponsor?
Despite claims from leadership at BHMS that the State Education Department will not approve the transfer of the Little Room to a sponsor that was located in October 2009, elected officials – including Assemblywoman Millman’s office and State Senator Squadron’s office – and others involved in the negotiations process disagree. They think that, with another year at BHMS, differences could be worked out, and the Little Room program could be saved. Recognizing the extraordinary loss to the community that the loss of the Little Room would represent, they are working hard with the State Education Department and the potential new sponsor, YAI, to allow the transfer to happen.
