NEW YORK — Dez-Ann Romain, principal of the Brooklyn Democracy Academy, a public high school, always kept her office neat and freshened with new flowers, and kept the school decorated with inspirational quotes.
While authorities warn that there will be many more fatalities from the virus, Romain’s struck a chord — the early death of a prominent New Yorker who has touched many people’s lives. Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza sent a letter to the academy community Monday night notifying them of Romain’s death.
She had begun to feel ill and was hospitalized March 18 for pneumonia, school officials said. A day later, the academy notified its community that there was a self-reported COVID-19 case in the school, officials said. Miranda Barbot, a Department of Education spokeswoman, said the department was directed to close schools when the city’s health department confirmed a case, “and we immediately did that for the one confirmation we received while school was still in session.”
