Obama to Visit Crown Heights on Friday
President Barrack Obama will visit a Crown Heights high school he mentioned in his State of the Union Address this year while in New York for Democratic fundraisers on Friday.
Obama will visit the Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH) on Albany Avenue “to discuss the importance of ensuring that the next generation of middle class American workers and entrepreneurs has the skills they need to compete and win in a global economy,” a White House official said.
Through collaboration between New York public schools and City University of New York and IBM, P-Tech allows students to graduate high school with a diploma and a an associate’s degree in computers or engineering.
The federal Education Department is seeking congressional funding to use to replicate P-TECH’s six-year program. New York City and State also plan to copy the school’s model elsewhere.
Later Friday, Obama will speak a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser and a separate event hosted by the Democratic National Committee.

I wonder if this visit will affect train travel and accessibility.
LA
Obama’s trips to Hancock Park (Beverly/La Brea) make it impossible to drive in the neighborhood. Streets are closed without advance notice because of security concerns. It can take HOURS to move a mile. If you own a car, don’t move it on Friday or plan on walking from far away.
