Bay Ridge — An ambitious project that would have Community Board 10 teaming up with hundreds of high school students to clean local parks is facing a possible postponement of several months due to the crazy, hectic schedules of the teens, the organizer admitted.
June Johnson, chair of Board 10’s Parks Committee, said her group was “moving along” with the plan to have students maintain local parks, but that during a recent meeting with Philip Weinberg, principal of the High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology, it was suggested that the cleanup might have to wait.
