Brooklyn Congress Member and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries took some time out of his busy schedule in Washington this week to visit two Brownsville schools with good news — and hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for new programs and infrastructure.
In the busy schoolyard at P.S. 298 the Dr. Betty Shabazz School/Brownsville Collaborative Middle School on Monday afternoon, Jeffries announced he had secured a whopping $607,150 in federal funding to renovate the school’s weathered play yard with a new track, basketball courts, and an athletic field.
