Garodnick Visits Community Education Council Meeting to Push for Relief at P.S. 116

Council Member Garodnick attended a meeting of the District 2 Community Education Council to encourage the DOE officials present to incubate the new P.S. 281 a year before it opens in its permanent home in order to provide relief to the severely crowded P.S. 116.

After the DOE responded to a letter from a coalition of East Side elected officials by raising a number of difficulties with incubation, Council Member Garodnick said, “That’s not the vigorous problem-solving we were hoping for.”  He is continuing to  urge the DOE to engage in a community conversation with the P.S. 116 community, elected officials and affected kindergarten parents to find a solution.
