NYC Council Looks to Increase Diversity at Elite Schools

The New York City Council is looking at a series of bills aimed at increasing diversity in the city’s most exclusive public high schools. One would replace the tests at Bronx Science and Stuyvesant and require approval from Albany. Another calls for a fresh look at whether students from poor neighborhoods are unfairly shunned. Andrew Siff reports as part of SchoolBook, a collaboration between NBC 4 New York, WNYC, Telemundo 47 and the Daily News. WNYC has covered issues related to diversity in the city schools.
