Bilingual Teacher Wins Big In NYC City Council Race
The Uptowner (NY)
On Tuesday, Ydanis Rodriguez decisively won the 10th District seat on New York's City Council. One of 11 children born to farm workers in the Dominican Republic, Ydanis Rodriguez immigrated to Washington Heights at 18. He worked as a taxi driver while earning a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's degree in bilingual education. Rodriguez was a founding teacher of Gregorio Luperon High School, which specializes in the education of new immigrant children and where he taught for 14 years. During a recent interview at his campaign office, Rodriguez appeared ready to make the transition from educator to legislator.
Without a doubt, you have the BEST website in the country to help Hispanic parents help their children! Wonderful for teachers, too! Thanks!
