The New York Times has run a thoughtful profile of New Rochelle’s response to the painful and tragic loss of a High School student. The reporter, Liz Harris, spoke with a wide range of students, educators, and parents, almost all of whom described our community as it is — diverse, welcoming, safe, and forward-looking, even in the face of challenges.

My own comments, addressing New Rochelle’s resilience and strength, appear at the very end of the piece. Please read.
