Bronx High School Students Participate in Meet the Leaders at School Event

High School students at Bronx High School for Law Government and Justice had the opportunity to participate in a taping of Meet the Leaders @ School with NYS Assemblyman Michael Blake. Over 75 students attended the taping and got to ask the Assemblyman questions on topics of interest including bringing affordable housing to the Bronx, increasing the minimum wage in New York State, addressing pollution in the Bronx, keeping Metro Card prices affordable and increasing graduation rates in the Bronx.

“Congratulations to each of the students involved in the program today for their perceptive and timely questions,” said Assemblyman Blake. “Their interest in current issues is clearly evident and it is heartening to see our young people interested in how they can help government be more effective. I would also like to thank Cablevision for bringing this informative program into the classroom. This collaboration educates students about our 3, 2, 1 vision of economic development, education and equality for all so we continue #BuildingABetterBronx.”
