After some tense exchanges, the board voted 2-1 to grant a special use permit that will allow Riverstone Academy to return to its original location in a light industrial area near concrete, landscaping, and machine shop businesses. The approval ran contrary to a February vote by the county planning commission recommending the permit be denied over safety concerns. Thursday’s decision represents a victory for Riverstone, but the elementary school won’t be able to return to its original site right away. School officials will be required to make building and property improvements and then get approval from local officials. It’s not clear how long that will take. Riverstone, which advertises itself as a public school that offers a “Christian foundation,” has generated controversy for months. School founders didn’t follow routine steps to ensure the school’s building met health and safety standards before opening to about 30 students last August. By January, local officials ordered Riverstone officials to close its building, and after initially fighting the effort, school leaders agreed. In addition, emails obtained by Chalkbeat indicate Riverstone was created to spark a lawsuit over public funding for religious schools that could go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The school, which is currently receiving state funding, sued the state in February, alleging it would be religious discrimination if the state eventually decides to claw back the funding. While school officials have refused in the last six weeks to divulge Riverstone’s temporary location, it appears to be operating out of Christ Church Pueblo West, about 13 miles away from its original location. On a recent sunny afternoon at the school’s advertised dismissal time, a string of parents emerged from the church’s front door, trailed by children carrying backpacks. Some parents stopped to chat with each other in the parking lot, while others went straight to their cars. At Tuesday’s board meeting, when Commissioner Miles Lucero, a Democrat, asked Riverstone Executive Director Quin Friberg, where the school is currently operating, Friberg confirmed that it’s in a church but wouldn’t say which one. “I think it’s a safety concern,” said Friberg. “There is so much public attention on this right now.” But he also acknowledged that the location is something of an open secret, saying, “Multiple media [members] know where the building is. It’s not that private at this point.”Lucero, who was the one commissioner to vote against the special use permit, said his interest in knowing the temporary location is related to safety. It’s unclear if Christ Church Pueblo West meets health and safety standards required for elementary schools. Friberg told Lucero he would call him and share the school’s location. Among the issues discussed at Thursday’s special use permit hearing were the traffic volume in front of Riverstone’s original building, whether parents have the expertise needed to determine school site safety, and why Riverstone leaders sometimes call the school public and other times private.Some members of the planning commission raised concerns in February that a child could get run over by a cement truck or other kinds of heavy machinery that travel the road.Chairman Zach Swearingen and Commissioner Paula McPheeters, both Republicans who both voted in favor of the permit, said traffic at the original site is relatively light and doesn’t pose a risk to children.“I sat there myself to observe it,” said McPheeters, who recently visited the Aspen Circle location. ”And as a parent of children, watching the traffic … I couldn’t, in my own experience, see why it wouldn’t be acceptable.”The father of a Riverstone student who spoke Thursday said he felt his child is in a safe environment. But others who spoke in opposition felt the planning commission’s denial recommendation held more weight. One public commenter, Andrea Naglich, who is part of a local school board watchdog group called #WeAreD70, suggested that McPheeters had a conflict of interest in voting on the Riverstone permit. “There is a documented relationship between Commissioner McPheeters and the leadership connected to Riverstone Academy and related organizations,” including Friberg, she said. McPheeters and Friberg helped found Forging Pueblo, a group that aims to “Impact Pueblo with a biblical worldview.” McPheeters served on the group’s board until 2023. Forging Education, the Christian group that operates Riverstone Academy, is an offshoot of Forging Pueblo. McPheeters said she has remained “completely neutral” on the topic of Riverstone. “And yet, there are those in the community accusing me of a conflict of interest because of my affiliations, because I might go to church with someone, or have worked [on] a project [with] someone.”She suggested that Lucero had compromised himself by recently attending a Pueblo 70 school board meeting and asking the board to end the agreement that allows Riverstone to be located within district boundaries.Lucero said he did that because of Riverstone’s refusal to explain where the school was located following the closure of its original building. “The reason is … because to this day, Riverstone Academy has been unwilling to tell us where these children are,” he said.Ann Schimke is a senior reporter at Chalkbeat covering early childhood issues and early literacy.

Sign up for Chalkbeat New York’s free daily newsletter to get essential news about NYC’s public schools delivered to your inbox.New York City students with a passion for STEM — and an interest in artificial intelligence — may soon have a high school dedicated to training “the next generation of technology professionals.” But families in Manhattan’s District 2 are pushing back against the proposal for Next Generation Technology High School, a new screened admissions high school that would take the place of the tiny, girls-only Urban Assembly School of Business for Young Women. Next Generation would be the first city public school to focus its curriculum on AI and computer science.As details of the two proposals emerged over the last month, so have dual tensions: What should fill the space left by Young Women in Business, and how private technology companies and their artificial intelligence products could shape the curriculum at Next Generation. Much of the opposition to Next Generation has come from families at a middle school also in the Broadway building, Lower Manhattan Community School. Also known as LMC, parents at the school have called on the department for years to expand enrollment from grades 6-8 up to grade 12. The Panel for Educational Policy, the board that votes on new schools and closures, is expected to consider the proposals for Next Generation and Business for Young Women at its April 29 meeting. The Education Department released both proposals on March 6, the day after the city’s eighth graders received their high school acceptance offers. If approved, Next Generation would welcome its first class of ninth graders in the fall. (The plan to close Business for Young Women in June is not contingent on Next Generation’s approval.) Despite not having the green light yet, Next Generation has already held three virtual open houses. Its online interest form states the school is “set to open” in fall 2026, noting that applications would open March 19.Parents ask: “Why this school and why here?”Manhattan High Schools Superintendent Gary Beidleman introduced the idea for Next Generation Technology High School at a Feb. 25 meeting of the District 2 Community Education Council.Panel for Educational Policy members and families of the three co-located schools at 26 Broadway — in addition to LMC and Business for Young Women, Richard R. Green High School of Teaching shares the building — said that meeting was the first time the district school community had been notified of the proposed STEM- and technology-focused screened high school.At the Feb. 25 announcement, Beidleman said Next Generation grew out of his experience as a summer 2024 Google Education Innovation Fellow, and that Google and OpenAI are part of the planning team for the school. One of the school’s goals, he said, is to “expand pathways connected to high-growth technology careers” and provide advanced STEM and technology programming for NYC students. Next Generation also plans to offer a summer internship program with Carnegie Mellon University.Caleb Haraguchi-Combs, founding principal and project director of Next Generation High School, said in an information session that the school would utilize Google’s new, AI-powered Skills Platform. How much of this AI-powered, AI-focused Google coursework would comprise the curriculum is still in flux, according to the proposal’s educational impact statement.The school’s academic description includes similar or identical language as found on the Google Skills website: Next Generation’s “special access to technology industry mentors,” “technology certifications,” and “curriculum that adapts to the dynamic changes in the technology field” are offerings advertised on the homepage of the Google Skills site. Officials and families question new school proposal process The community and Panel for Educational Policy members have asked questions about the fast proposal process, speaking to uncertainty around admissions for the coming school year. Parents said in a letter to the Panel for Educational Policy that the proposal seemingly came out of nowhere, and families were not provided adequate engagement opportunities before its release. Panel Chair Greg Faulkner said he has received hundreds of similar letters from parents since the community learned of the incoming proposal in late February.High school offers were released March 5, ahead of the panel’s vote and months before the proposed school would open. It remains unclear how the Education Department would handle screening requirements — such as interviews or assessments — after the main admissions cycle has concluded. The Office of District Planning did not respond to questions about how enrollment would work for this fall.A petition in support of the school, created by the Next Generation’s founding principal and program director on March 8, had under 100 signatures at the time of publishing. A public hearing is scheduled for April 14, two weeks before the panel’s vote. “I would love more transparency around why the department chooses certain schools to go in certain places,” said Sarah Calderon, a parent at Lower Manhattan Community School. “When we asked the superintendent, ‘Why this school and why here?’ he said he had no data on district demand.”eidelman told parents at the Feb. 25 District 2 meeting that expanding Lower Manhattan Community “was not an idea that was on the table.” The Education Department receives many proposals each year, including some from outside New York City, said Sean Rux of the Office of New School Development.“This was the proposal that spoke to us,” Rux said.Families push to expand Lower Manhattan Community SchoolThe plan to close the underenrolled Business for Young Women school has been percolating for a few years — with just 91 students this year, it’s the smallest district high school in the city, said Education Department officials. Families at Lower Manhattan Community School say they have pushed for years to expand into a 6–12 model, and would like to move into the space used by Business for Young Women, if closed.“Expanding LMC to a 6–12 would give local families a priority option in a district that has some of the hardest schools to get into,” said Anne Hager, a parent of an eighth grader at LMC.At a PTA meeting with Education Department staff on Wednesday, LMC’s Student Leadership Team presented its case to expand the school instead of opening Next Generation. A new 6-12 would eliminate the need for LMC students to go through a second, onerous application process, something that students with disabilities would especially benefit from, they said. The presentation also cited Department of Education data from 2024 that showed 6-12 schools have nearly three times higher demand than their 6-8 middle school counterparts.District 2 has a higher proportion of screened and specialized high schools compared with citywide averages. The department’s proposal focuses largely on space at the Broadway campus, estimating that Next Generation would serve roughly 450 students by its fourth year. All three schools can comfortably co-locate, according to the proposal, though its capacity calculations do not allot for significant expansion for either Richard R. Green High School or LMC.Debate over AI timing and oversightNext Generation’s proposal arrives amid broader debate over artificial intelligence in schools.The school initially marketed itself in information sessions and on social media as an “AI school,” though DOE officials later clarified that students would learn about artificial intelligence rather than be taught by it. “Students need to be creators, not consumers, of technology,” Beidleman said at the Feb. 25 meeting. “Lessons learned from the past show us that new tech in place creates an opportunity.”Some parents have argued that broad use of an AI platform in public schools should not be allowed before comprehensive guidelines have been released by the city. Greg Faulkner, who chairs the Panel for Educational Policy, said he first learned of the proposal after receiving Next Generation’s interest form last month. Since then, the panel has received hundreds of letters from parents opposing the plan and raising concerns about the lack of community engagement so far.“I have two major hesitations with this: We don’t know what kind of AI involvement there will be. The development team has not provided a playbook for how that will look,” Faulkner said. “And in reading the response letters from District 2 parents, I see that proper engagement and process was not done.”At a District 2 town hall on March 5, Chancellor Kamar Samuels said the Education Department expects to release AI guidance in the coming weeks and will provide a 45-day window for community feedback once it’s published.Five Community Education Councils have passed resolutions calling for a two-year moratorium on artificial intelligence use in schools. But calls for broad AI guidelines implemented at the city level are nothing new; a proposed expansion of an AI-powered reading program was halted in 2024 after former Comptroller Brad Lander called for a citywide playbook. “I think the question of teacher capacity and teacher shortages, the research on kids and AI, is still nascent, and the DOE’s lack of its own AI policy leads me to question the timing of any AI school,” said Calderon, the parent at Lower Manhattan Community.Lizzie Walsh is a Data Fellow at Chalkbeat New York.
