Fariña encourages students to sign up for IDNYC cards
Chancellor gets her card at Fort Hamilton High School
Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña came to Fort Hamilton High School on Wednesday, but she wasn’t there to talk about Common Core or other educational issues.
Fariña paid a visit to the school with Commissioner Nisha Agarwal of the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to help the de Blasio administration push a new initiative to encourage the city’s students to obtain IDNYC cards.
The city has opened up several pop-up centers in schools as part of a “week of action” program to make it easier for students to apply for the special ID cards.
