In a letter to College Board CEO David Coleman highlighted the concerns of anxious parents and students across New York about going to crowded test sites. “With remote learning now the norm for city students, the College Board needs to revisit the wisdom of requiring in-person testing and associated fees in the current environment,” said Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris. “While the priority here is the safety of our kids, this experience should also kickstart a broader discussion about the efficacy of standardized testing in the college admissions process.” Just this week, all New York City public schools transitioned to remote learning due to spikes in covid-19 infections across the city.

  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

  • A Guide to Flushing in Queens
    A GUIDE TO FLUSHING IN QUEENS Ethnic diversity is the hallmark of New York City, and nowhere is this diversity more evident than in Flushing, Queens. Founded in 1645, Flushing, then called Vlissingen, was granted a charter by the Dutch West India Company and became a part of New Netherlands. Subsequent periods of immigration resulted in colonization by English settlers, and more recently by settlers from Taiwan, mainland China, Japan and Korea. The result is an ethnic medley to be savored in its streets, shops, restaurants and cultural institutions. Where is Flushing? Located on western Long Island, Queens is one of the five boroughs of New York City. Established in 1683, it was named for the queen consort, Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II. The borough of Queens is divided into four “towns,” Jamaica, Long Island City, Flushing, and Far Rockaway. Unlike the other boroughs, mail in Queens is addressed to the applicable town rather than “Queens, N. Y.” About Flushing The first It’s Easy to Get to Flushing settlers in Flushing were, From either Times Square, or Grand Central Station, oddly enough, take the Number 7 train to the last stop and you will a group of be in the heart of Flushing. Englishmen who arrived in 1645 from Vlissingen in Holland under a patent from the Dutch West Indies Company. Subsequently an influx of Quakers from the English colonial settlements in Massachusetts took place in 1657. With the arrival of the Quakers, Governor Peter Stuyvesant, known as Peg Leg Pete, issued an edict banning all forms of worship other than Dutch Reformed, despite the guaranty of freedom of worship contained in the official Dutch charter.

    Gourmet Tea for tea tastings. Or catch the bubble tea wave at branches of international powerhouses such as CoCo, Kung Fu, and Happy Lemon. Flushing, beyond the well-known Main Street, is truly a wonder to explore. Take an afternoon to walk around the neighborhood, making stops in Murray Hill to try an array of authentic Korean BBQ dishes at Hahm Ji Bach, or the Hindu Temple Society of North America, whose Temple Canteen is a well-kept secret for delicious dosas. In fact, Flushing has a rich history of multicultural diversity. As the birthplace of religious freedom, it is home to many houses of worship representing almost every faith. When you emerge from the Main Street station, marvel at the iconic St. George’s Episcopal Church with more than 300 years of history. Close by is the Quaker Meeting House – the oldest house of worship in New York City and a National Historic Landmark. Break the other direction and explore the magnificent Free Synagogue of Flushing with its beautiful dome and stained glass windows. Across the street from the Meeting House is Flushing Town Hall, once the center of government for an independent town, now an important center for the diversity and interweaving of immigrant arts. History buffs will be pleased to discover seven historic houses, many of which are within walking distance from one another. Stop by the Bowne House, Kingsland Homestead (the headquarters for the Queens Historical Society) and the Voelker Orth Museum, which has a beautiful Victorian garden and bird sanctuary.
