En la ciudad de Nueva York, una red de escuelas p\u00fablicas aut\u00f3nomas que tengo el honor de codirigir inaugur\u00f3 recientemente un campus nuevo y excepcionalmente bello en el barrio de Mott Haven, en el sur del Bronx. Est\u00e1 ubicado en una antigua f\u00e1brica de hielo centenaria de 200.000 pies cuadrados, meticulosamente restaurada tras d\u00e9cadas de abandono. El New York Times<\/em> Recientemente, la escuela DREAM Charter School, ubicada en 20 Bruckner Boulevard, fue calificada como "uno de los edificios escolares m\u00e1s espectaculares de la ciudad". No es el tipo de escuela que se suele ver tan al norte de la ciudad, y su construcci\u00f3n requiri\u00f3 una importante inversi\u00f3n de dinero y tiempo por parte de nuestra organizaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

En una comunidad y un \u00e1mbito laboral donde los recursos son escasos, el tiempo es muy valioso y la utilidad prima sobre la ambici\u00f3n casi siempre, me hacen repetidamente las mismas preguntas sobre nuestro campus m\u00e1s reciente. \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 20 Bruckner? \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 un proyecto de esta envergadura? \u00bfY no para un centro comercial, un estadio o viviendas de lujo, sino para una escuela?<\/p>\n

Esta es nuestra raz\u00f3n de ser. En DREAM, creemos que el lugar importa. El lugar crea contexto, y el contexto crea significado; y el significado de una escuela hermosa, para los estudiantes, las familias y nuestra comunidad, es que importa. Merece nuestra inversi\u00f3n de amor y tiempo y, s\u00ed, merece la inversi\u00f3n que cost\u00f3 reconstruir este espacio maravilloso.<\/p>\n

Los espacios de aprendizaje atractivos son comunes en las comunidades acomodadas. A tan solo 40 cuadras al sur de Bruckner Boulevard, nadie cuestiona el costo de una escuela. Nadie pregunta "\u00bfPor qu\u00e9?" sobre Dalton, Nightingale-Bamford o Collegiate.<\/p>\n

Pero si podemos estar de acuerdo en que todos los ni\u00f1os, independientemente de su lugar de residencia, necesitan lo mismo para crecer sanos, fuertes y felices, la siguiente pregunta es inevitable: \u00bfC\u00f3mo podemos costearlo?<\/p>\n

DREAM siempre ha requerido m\u00e1s recursos que la mayor\u00eda de sus escuelas p\u00fablicas similares. Esto se debe a que no solo atendemos a las familias durante el horario escolar: nuestras escuelas tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n dise\u00f1adas para albergar programas extraescolares y de verano, en l\u00ednea con el enfoque de jornada y a\u00f1o escolar extendidos de DREAM para cada ni\u00f1o. El edificio 20 Bruckner es incluso la sede del programa para exalumnos de DREAM, que brinda apoyo a nuestros graduados de secundaria durante un m\u00e1ximo de 6 a\u00f1os, desde la universidad hasta su primer empleo. Y dado que existe una enorme ineficiencia al tener los servicios p\u00fablicos de la ciudad operando de forma aislada, DREAM crea espacios donde una familia puede comer, reunirse con un consejero o un gestor de casos y acceder a cuidado infantil mediante programas extraescolares, todo bajo un mismo techo.<\/p>\n

Hoy en d\u00eda, es la filantrop\u00eda privada combinada con una importante financiaci\u00f3n p\u00fablica lo que permite a DREAM construir esta constelaci\u00f3n de apoyos en un solo lugar. Y no nos disculpamos por ello, porque la realidad es que los fondos p\u00fablicos por s\u00ed solos no cubren el costo de lo que los ni\u00f1os negros y latinos de bajos ingresos necesitan y merecen. Si nuestros estudiantes van a sobresalir, no es simplemente por nuestro idealismo, sino por nuestro esfuerzo y nuestras aportaciones. Resulta que la inversi\u00f3n s\u00ed impulsa los resultados, como los de DREAM. resultados de pruebas contundentes<\/a> o logro universitario<\/a>\u2014sobre todo si se compara el coste p\u00fablico de un buen resultado ahora con uno malo, como el desempleo, la falta de vivienda o la c\u00e1rcel en el futuro. La tesis de DREAM es que si invertimos en la escala adecuada ahora, no tendremos que invertir en la escala equivocada m\u00e1s adelante.<\/p>\n

En este trabajo, debemos preguntarnos \u00bfPor qu\u00e9? y \u00bfC\u00f3mo? todos los d\u00edas. El trabajo es m\u00e1s arduo que nunca, y es f\u00e1cil perder de vista el motivo por el que empezamos. Pero desde que inauguramos el edificio de 20 Bruckner, al ver a nuestros estudiantes y personal habitar su nuevo hogar con tanta alegr\u00eda, orgullo y asombro, nuestro prop\u00f3sito se siente m\u00e1s vivo que nunca.<\/p>\n

Nuestros estudiantes nos recuerdan que la cuesti\u00f3n no es que el edificio de 20 Bruckner sea desproporcionado, sino que es uno de los pocos lugares en Mott Haven donde la inversi\u00f3n, el compromiso y la convicci\u00f3n est\u00e1n en la medida justa. Imaginemos si pudi\u00e9ramos lograr que esto se convirtiera en la norma y la expectativa, para reafirmar que el lugar importa, para m\u00e1s ni\u00f1os de nuestra ciudad y de todo el pa\u00eds. Imaginemos si las pol\u00edticas y los fondos p\u00fablicos asumieran el verdadero costo de la equidad. \u00a1Qu\u00e9 diferencia supondr\u00eda!.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
