MR / Schenectady, NY.Yates Arts in Education Magnet School, Grade 2.Arts-Themed Urban Elementary School.Chipped paint in second grade classroom; students sit nearby listening to teacher..Urban schools need more investment in capital projects to fix their deteriorating buildings and potential related safety hazards (such as lead poisoning from paint) but often have trouble getting voter approval for bonds to fund them, which is required in New York State for small city school districts. .RESTRICTION: This image may not be used to criticize this particular district (Schenectady City School District) for potential safety hazards. Voters here passed a bond issue in January 2004 that will allow them to upgrade facilities. .MR: g2c.© Ellen B. Senisi
