At least six more Big Apple schools are set to start temporarily housing migrants in their gyms, prompting all hell to break loose Monday among parents frantic over safety and potential learning disruptions.
The other targeted elementary schools are PS 18 and PS 132, both in Williamsburg, PS 172 in Sunset Park and PS 189 near Prospect-Lefferts Gardens. PS 17, 18, 132 and 172 all house kindergarten through fifth-grade, while PS 189 goes from kindergarten through eighth grade. “The school will be under lockdown all day,” Vu said, adding that outdoor after-school activities would also be axed.
In a letter to parents Sunday, MS 577 Principal Maria Masullo insisted that the impact of housing of migrants on school property would be minimal.“This should not impact school operations, nor will families have access to any other part of the school where students and staff are,” Masullo wrote. Other PS 172 parents ripped Mayor Eric Adams for having city schools accept asylum-seekers in the first place — pointing out that one of the Big Apple’s dozens of migrant shelters had already been set up in a hotel right across the street from the school.
