It is with profound sadness that we mark the passing of our beloved founder, chairman, and friend, Richard (Dick) Beattie. Over the past four decades, Mr. Beattie was one of the greatest champions of New York City’s public schools and the millions of students they have served. Today there are hundreds of thousands of adults whose paths to graduation, to college, and to careers were quietly shaped by his vision, his courage, and his unwavering support for educators. His passion for ensuring that every child in our city has access to a great school brought all of us together as an extended family. All of us at New Visions feel a profound sense of gratitude for the man who founded and steadfastly supported New Visions for Public Schools for 36 years. We also feel a deep obligation to ensure the amazing organization he leaves as his legacy continues to create new opportunities for many future generations of students to come. Thank you for joining us in honoring Mr. Beattie’s inspiring legacy. You can learn more about his impact in this video, originally produced in 2014 to celebrate our 25th anniversary, at www.newvisions.org/25.
