Dept. of Education building 2 new schools in District 20
School District 20 in Brooklyn, which educational leaders often describe as bursting at the seams due to overcrowded classrooms, is getting some relief.
The New York City Department of Education (DOE) is planning to build a new elementary-intermediate school on Third Avenue between 59th and 60th streets in Sunset Park as well as a new pre-kindergarten center on 93rd Street between Third and Fourth avenues in Bay Ridge.
The District 20 Community Education Council (CEC) will hold a public hearing on the plans on Thursday, Feb. 19, at the CEC headquarters, 415 89th St., at 6 p.m.
