The school that is 20 blocks away is as overcrowded perhaps the the DOE and the Mayor should face facts and build more schools. Take advanage of already existing classrooms via closed parochial schools. Anything short of creating new space will eventually drive people out of the city.

anonymous,
why should people who have the means to buy apartments close to these schools have precedence over those who have lived in this neighborhood for years, or for those who live legitimately in this district and who do not have the means to buy property just to get into a good school?
no to rezoning. new properties should get zoned out if anything!

My child graduated from PS 3 a few years ago and we commuted more than 20 blocks to attend this school. Should the school get rezoned? The answer is no!

PS3/41 area must get rezoned. People who bought apartments within a few blocks of those schools for the sole purpose of going to those schools should not have to get bussed out to a school 20 blocks away.

I hope the DOE understands that increasing class size is NOT the solution. It provides a cheap, short-lived band-aid at best! Classes are too large for optimal learning environments as it is!
