PS 186s faulty lights to be fixed by the fall
One Bensonhurst school is on the fast track to remediation.
According to Councilmember Vincent Gentile, the old, faulty lighting fixtures at P.S. 186 that are filled with PCBs will be replaced by the time classes start again this fall, not by 2015 as previously announced.
Bayan Cadotte, principal of the school located on the corner of 76th Street and 19th Avenue, said that there has been a lot of concern with the lighting fixtures that contain Polychlorinated Biphenyls or PCBs going out because of the safety issues as well as amount of time being taken from classroom work.
