De Blasio promotes plan for struggling schools
Mayor Bill de Blasio promoted his plan to boost the performance of struggling schools by providing extra support during a visit to a Queens high school Thursday.
De Blasio said Richmond Hill High School is improving since it was added to a list of 94 “renewal schools” receiving funds for services such as weekend tutoring and expanded after-school programs.
“The students, the faculty, everyone can tell that things are getting better,” he said.
