Mayor Bob Duffy has released more information on what he hopes to do if the Rochester school district is made a part of city government.

In a press release issued this afternoon, Duffy says he want to create "true neighborhood schools, true guarantees for parents that their children can attend their neighborhood schools, flexible transportation choices, and adequate school safety for students, teachers, and staff."

Parents who don't choose neighborhood schools, according to the City Hall press release, "will be given one or two alternative choices." Those choices will include "programs for parents who desire a stronger focus on structure and discipline, including school uniforms." Child care will be available in some elementary schools from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Parents who want "special programs" such as the Major Achievement Program will also be offered a choice.

Duffy says he also wants to guarantee transportation for all elementary school children if they need it.

Duffy's list is not an outline of components of the legislation being drafted in Albany. Instead, it is a list of "initiatives the city will embark upon once a change in school governance occurs," the press release says.

A report detailing Duffy's plan is at right.
