Aviles-Ramos addressed the criticism from parents in a sit-down interview with The Post, insisting the events were meant to be an "initial step." "What I would say to them is, we're not perfect.

Bronx mom Deb Alexander admitted she opted out of the tour because it all felt too "highly curated" - and that feedback she heard from other parents confirmed her skepticism. "It would be so refreshing to hear 'yes, that is a problem, we're not sure how to fix it but we're open to your suggestions.' Engagement is not 'listening,' it's a two-way street," she said.
