Mayor Bill de Blasio has decided to go for broke this summer and launch new programming for the youth, he said in his briefing this Tuesday.
The Summer Rising Initiative, said de Blasio, focuses on reaching all public school students, ranging from kindergarten through high school, that want to participate in additional programming and enrichment activities.
“This year is so important to really build partnerships to bring our schools back and to make Summer Rising an experience like no other,” said Department of Education (DOE) Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter, also present at the mayor’s briefing.
