Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña visited Growing Up Green Charter School in Long Island City on Monday, as school children populated classrooms for the first time in two months.

While city public schools haven’t started yet, the charter system got a head start on learning. Fariña regularly makes visits to public schools, but took the opportunity of the early start to pay one to a charter school.

The purpose was to get a look at what the school was doing and to borrow some of the ideas to maybe apply to the whole public school system.

“The more we see about what’s happening in other schools and the great ideas – we can kind of steal from here and steal from there – the better our whole system is,” Fariña said. “It’s really exciting to be here, I took a lot of notes.”
