The Dept. of Education has selected a site at 701 Caton Avenue (off E. 7th Street) as a potential new public school! The proposed school would serve 750 kids from Pre-K to 8th Grade. Note that this is the very beginning of the process - the school is not definite but it is very good news, nonetheless. Through the hard work of Community Board 7's Site Selection Committee, the Community Board submitted a list of possible sites for a school and this one was picked but still needs to be approved, designed, and go through the City Council, etc.
There will be a public hearing before the full Community Board 7 on this topic. The Board welcomes public testimony at the hearing and we encourage parents to attend and speak:
When: Wed. Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m.
Where: International Baptist Church (312 Coney Island Avenue, use entrance on Caton Place)

If you need further information, contact Community Board 7 at (718) 854-0003. Please try to attend on Feb. 9!
This is in District 15, across from Shenanigans and J&L Landscaping, as far as we can tell.
