When Bedford Academy 0th grade students, Haneen Abouelker, 15, and Tiffany Sadiq, 15, on the student leadership team (SLT) heard in January that the school could possibly be relocated they sprang into action.
The school fosters bright young minds and has a nearly 100% graduation rate. Its students are dedicated, forward thinkers that aren’t afraid to get a little political.
When two 10th grade students, Haneen Abouelker, 15, and Tiffany Sadiq, 15, on the student leadership team heard in January that the school could possibly be relocated they sprang into action, circulating a paper petition on every floor of the school. The petition quickly was filled with signatures from students and teachers both past and present, about 900, stating that they were also against the move.
The DOE has since said that there is absolutely no plan or official proposal to move the school to another location or to a colocated location with other high schools in one building. There was only an initial conversation that was had with the SLT to see how people would feel about relocation, said the DOE.
The students said that any relocation of the school could affect their already long commutes, interrupt their learning environment and graduation rates, and have public safety consequences later down the road. “The students really don’t want to relocate,” said Abouelker.
