Transfer school, designed to cut dropout rate, proposed- SILive.com: "STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Staten Island high school students at risk of dropping out could get a second chance at a proposed school that would make graduation a likelihood instead of a longshot.

"This is a quality proposal and we did want to open a transfer school on Staten Island, but we had difficulty in siting the school," she said. "That's not to say we don't want to bring a transfer school to Staten Island but it takes a long time for new buildings to come up and we didn't have any usable space for this purpose in existing DOE buildings."
