Private School Plans In Norwalk Rejected: Report

NORWALK, CT — The Planning and Zoning Board voted earlier this month to deny a proposal to open a prekindergarten through grade 12 private school at 32 Weed Ave., according to meeting minutes.

The proposal was made by Schoolhouse Academy Inc. and it was defeated by a 4-3 vote.

Hearst CT reported that the proposal would have led to a 20-classroom school at the site of a conference center. Traffic was cited as a major concern by some residents and members of the board, Hearst reported.

Schoolhouse Academy officials blasted the denial, saying it denies "affordable, high-quality education" in Norwalk, according to Hearst CT.
