“The air in the room is heavy. The emotion in the room is heavy. We all understand what we must do, but as a Board, as a 10-member team, we just want to take some of the air out of the room.

Dr. Prophet-Bullock says the district will have another meeting this coming Monday from 5:30 p.m.-to-7:30 p.m. at PS 94, West Hertel Academy…
