On Friday, December 10, 2010, a reception for Joel Klein was held at the Charter Success Network Offices in Harlem. The small and personal gathering was held to thank Joel Klein for all his hard work and unwavering support of parent choice and Public Charter Schools during his eight year tenure as the NYC School Chancellor.
Chancellor Klein gave a rousing speech regarding the importance of taking up his torch and moving the parent choice movement ahead, despite his imminent absence at the forefront of the movement. Klein has been well known for his expansion of small schools and charter schools to provide more high-quality educational options for students. He encouraged all in attendance to never give up on the children of the City of New York.
Eva Moskowitz, Founder of the Success Charter Network addressed the gathering as did Ex-Senator Craig M. Johnson (D-Nassau). Senator Johnson, who lost his seat to Senator elect Martin after two terms, is a staunch supporter of public charter schools and parent choice.
