49ds agoTensions are high in Midwood after Tuesday night’s storm forced the city to move 1,900 migrants from Floyd Bennett Field to James Madison High School.
As a result, students spent Wednesday learning remotely.
The community had mixed emotions about this decision. Parents took to protesting outside the school yesterday to voice their concerns.
But on Thursday, students were back to school. Those who spoke to News 12 said they agree with how the school and the city handled the situation.
"I feel like if they need a safe place to stay and if the building's not being used, there's no reason why we shouldn't put the building to use," said Danny, a junior at James Madison High School.
