CEC rejects city’s Bay Ridge Pre-k site
Charging that the New York City School Construction Authority selected an inappropriate site to construct a new pre-K school in Bay Ridge, the Community Education Council of School District 20 has voted against the plan.
The proposed site, an abandoned two-story building at 621 86th St., is located next to the 86th Street exit of the Gowanus Expressway.
In a vote on Jan. 20, the Community Education Council (CEC) decided to recommend that the School Construction Authority (SCA) not move ahead with the plan. The CEC held a public hearing on Jan. 20 at P.S./I.S. 104 in Bay Ridge and voted after the hearing to give the SCA’s proposal a thumbs-down.
