P.S. Weekly Trailer: NYC students take on school mergers, mental health, and diversity
Sign up for Chalkbeat New York’s free daily newsletter to get essential news about NYC’s public schools delivered to your inbox. P.S. Weekly is back with Season 3! The Bell’s high school reporters have once again teamed up with Chalkbeat New York’s veteran education journalists to bring you pressing issues in New York City schools from the perspectives of students who experience them firsthand. Led by the Bell’s Senior Producer Maria Robins-Somerville and Technical Director Jake Lummus, this season dives into critical issues of the moment and how students are not only responding to the world around them but actively shaping their education. You’ll hear about students fighting to integrate one of the city’s most elite public high schools, what it’s like after your school is merged with a neighboring school, and why teens want a more diverse teaching workforce. You’ll find out whether calculus matters and get personal with students struggling with mental health because of the current political climate. You’ll also learn more about the city’s special education system and what it was like to attend one of the city’s most rigorous charter schools. Plus, you’ll hear directly from the city’s school chancellor. Listen on Thursdays this spring, starting April 9. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. P.S. Weekly is available on major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify . Reach us at PSWeekly@chalkbeat.org. P.S. Weekly is a collaboration between The Bell and Chalkbeat , made possible by generous support from The Pinkerton Foundation.
