I am new to the SIS community and could not be more excited to be joining a school that has accomplished so much in its first 23 years. While I am new to SIS, I am not a newcomer to Jesuit education. I grew up on Staten Island, and my life was forever changed when I had the opportunity to go to Regis High School. I spent a good portion of my teenage years commuting on trains and the ferry to attend Regis, but those years provided me an incredible educational foundation as well as instilling in me the lifelong Jesuit value of being a man for others. I have a great respect and appreciation for the power of a Jesuit education to transform lives, and I am eager to help SIS deliver on its mission for our wonderful students in the South Bronx. St. Ignatius School is a co-educational, independent, and tuition-free middle school in the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx. The SIS vision is that all of its students excel in high school, college, and beyond. We are proud to note that in the last six years, 97% of SIS alumni graduated from high school, well over twice the rate of their peers in Hunts Point public schools. For the 2018-19 academic year, we will serve 79 eager middle school students and will continue to support 158 alumni in high school and college through our Graduate Support Program. The school has flourished over the last few years under the guidance of our board, the leadership of dynamic President Eavan O’Driscoll, and a dedicated staff who have committed their lives to the school’s mission. This past spring, we earned full accreditation from the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS), formalizing what we have known to be true for a long time – that SIS provides a comprehensive academic curriculum, has sound governance, and is effectively executing its mission of empowering our students to become their best selves. Through the generous contributions of our family of individual supporters and many foundations, the school finds itself on a stable financial footing that gives it the necessary resources to serve its students. In the Jesuit spirit of magis, there is much work ahead for us. We strive to deliver an even higher level of education to our students so that they are well prepared for success in the many high caliber schools where they now routinely earn admission. We also seek ways to deliver our mission to even more students. There are many motivated, deserving students in the South Bronx that we do not yet have the resources to reach, and we look to build our capacity to serve them. We must also strengthen the long-term financial foundation of the school. Our current fundraising efforts and the generosity of our donors have stabilized our annual operating budget. However, we must continue to build our nascent endowment so that we are not one slow fundraising year or the next financial downturn away from disruption of our ability to provide much needed services to our community. We hope that you will continue to be our partners in this noble effort and invite you to visit our incredible school, experience the warm welcome of our students, and witness our mission in action. Gratefully, Jeremy Clifford President 3 24956_AR.indd 3 9/28/18 7:52 AM ST. IGNATIUS SCHOOL Independent, tuition-free, Jesuit-sponsored, and NYSAIS accredited, St. Ignatius School (SIS) is a co-educational middle school (grades 6-8) located in the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx, New York. The school traces its origin to the Jesuit inner-city outreach programs at Nativity Mission Center on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1970s. Inspired by the Jesuit model and in direct response to the critical needs of the Hunts Point community, SIS began educating boys in 1995 in a storefront on Hunts Point Avenue. In 2004, girls were welcomed and the school moved into its current home on Manida Street. OUR MISSION St. Ignatius School’s mission is to empower students in the South Bronx to become their best selves by creating a safe and nurturing community that fosters intellectual, spiritual, and social growth. SIS has an unwavering commitment to the success of its students not only in middle school, but with additional guidance, tutoring, and financial support, through high school and college. Based on the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis — care for the whole person — SIS’ 11-year comprehensive programming ensures that our students excel through high school and college, and that they become role models and valued leaders-in-service for their families and the wider community. The five pillars of a Jesuit education are the foundation of whom God calls us to be: women and men who are open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice. SIS has given me many opportunities. I have a future ahead of me that can go many ways. But I have learned that my future is not about what I can receive, but about what I can give to others. I want to finish my education and give back to SIS and the rest of the world. I want to research illnesses like cancer and help cure them. SIS has given so much to me and I hope to use the gifts I’ve received well and truly be a man for others. - Carlos Garcia, SIS ’18, Horace Mann ’22 4 24956_AR.indd 4 9/26/18 4:58 PM WHOM WE SERVE A majority of our students are first generation Americans of Hispanic heritage, and many are raised by a single parent or guardian. Financial need is the primary criterion for admission, regardless of race, religion, or academic ability. For the 2017-2018 academic year, 74 students were enrolled in Grades 6 through 8, while our Graduate Support Program served 82 alumni in high school and 85 in college. $26,626 VS. $75,500 92% 8% SIS Manhattan Hispanic African Median Median American Income Income 100% Receive free lunch through the National School Lunch Program For the 2018-2019 academic year, 79 students are enrolled in grades 6-8. The Graduate Support Program serves 82 alumni in high school and 76 in college. St. Ignatius School is an extraordinarily special place and a bit of gold in the world of education. SIS has the courage to be counter-cultural, transforming young men and women into contemplatives in action committed to the service of others, in an age of superficiality. The school offers true education of the head, heart, and hands. - Adam Lewis, Principal, Loyola School NYC, SIS Trustee If you show someone else love or kindness they might just end up doing the same for someone else, creating a chain of doing the right thing. - Grace Owusu, SIS ’18, New Visions Charter High School ’22 5 24956_AR.indd 5 9/28/18 7:53 AM Aaleeah ‘20 with her proud mother, displaying TEAK Fellowship acceptance letter. 6 24956_AR.indd 6 9/26/18 4:58 PM OUR PROGRAMS Three unique programs spanning 11 months of every school When I reflect on my experience at St. Ignatius year are integral to addressing the challenges our students School and how it has impacted my life, the biggest and graduates face: thing that comes to my mind is empowerment.

While over 3,500 students of color entered school with the guidance of Early Steps, it is humbling to know that the impact has been so much greater. We hear time and © 2012 Victoria Jackson Photography again how families, schools and lives have been trans- formed as a result of the doors of opportunity that were opened with the help of Early Steps. Doors where academic excellence is the norm and children learn and play with others whose life’s experiences are not the same as theirs, benefitting all children. We are proud of our 30-year partnership with now over 50 New York City independent schools who nurture, educate and challenge our children to be the best that they can be. They couldn’t be in better hands! Tonight we honor four Early Steps alumni. These accomplished young adults all benefited from the wisdom of their parents who knew the importance of providing their children with the best possible education beginning in Kindergarten.

Contact: [email protected] One Staff, Two Branches THE QUEENS BOROUGH PUBLIC LIBRARY AND NEW YORK CITY’S FISCAL CRISIS OF THE 1970S Jeffrey A. Kroessler John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY ABSTRACT: During the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, New York City imposed deep budget cuts on the three library systems: the New York Public Library, the Brooklyn Public Library, and the Queens Borough Public Library. As the city cut budgets, the public demanded that libraries be kept open, and elected officials struggled to do both. The Queens Library’s staff was reduced from over 1,100 to barely 700, with branches open only two or three days a week, with one staff serving both. New buildings remained vacant because the library lacked funds to operate them. When the library proposed closing some branches, the NAACP successfully sued. In the late 1970s, the three systems came to rely upon federal monies for the first time for basic operations. In the early 1980s the city regained its finan- cial footing and library services stabilized, but the budgeting process for the libraries has remained politicized.
