Here are some local news stories we’re following, from this morning and this weekend, here on Breaking Bronx:

• Dozens of churches across the city that rent public school space for services will have to find new homes this week, after the Department of Education’s ban on the practice went into effect yesterday. The issue has become a crusade for Bronx City Councilman Fernando Cabrera, who has been campaigning for the State Legislature to pass a bill that would disallow the city’s ban. That bill passed in the Senate but still needs the approval of the Assembly and Gov. Cuomo before it can become law.“It is claimed these small houses of worship are recruiting and evangelizing impressionable children. Yet, the schools are rented only when they are empty. The houses of worship use the spaces when classes are not in session,” Cabrera said in a statement sent out yesterday.

• A Bronx teen was stabbed to death in Brooklyn Saturday night during a scuffle following a game of street football, the Daily News reports. Edgar Soto, 17, lived in Van Nest and was a student at Lehman High School. There were no immediate arrests.

• The NYPD is ordering a review of how it trains of all its street-level narcotics teams, following the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Bronx resident Ramarley Graham earlier this month. The officer who shot the unarmed Graham inside his Wakefield home had not undergone proper training and was not qualified for the detail he was on that day, WNYC reports. His death has sparked outrage and protests against the NYPD in the Bronx and across the city.

• Soundview, the struggling health care network founded by ex-State Sen. Pedro Espada, Jr.,  is in financial straits this month, laying off employees and facing expulsion from the state’s Medicaid program, while Espada himself continues to collect a paycheck from the nonprofit, according to the New York Post. Soundview is getting banned from Medicaid in part because Espada and his son, who are facing a slew of corruption charges for funneling money from the clinics for their own personal expenses, ignored a judge’s order to cut ties with the organization.

• The teenaged son of a high-ranking NYPD union official has been arrested in connection with a January shooting near Co-Op City. Police arrested 17-year-old Hameed Abdul-Jabbar after a search of his bedroom turned up a gun and drugs. Abdul-Jabbar is the son of Officer Mubarak Abdul-Jabbar, Second Vice President of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association.

• A 42-year-old woman was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Soundview Saturday night.
