Bronx Science Students Present The Science Of Being Fed Up & Walk-out
1/16/2008
A student walkout yesterday at the Bronx High School of Science is airing long simmering discontent with the school’s principal, Valerie Reidy.
Between 150 and 200 students walked out of the school at around 10:45 a.m. yesterday denouncing Ms. Reidy in chants and calling for her firing, people who attended the rally or had knowledge of it said.
The spectacle of the rally, which a source said lasted for more than an hour, attracted several television cameras.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Education, Marge Feinberg, said Ms. Reidy told her that the protest was the result of a misunderstanding. Students believed they were protesting the ousting of a teacher, but that was not the case.
“No tenured teacher is being fired,” Ms. Feinberg said.
