More elementary school seats coming in Dyker
As the Department of Education’s 2009-2014 Five Year Capital Plan winds down, the Bensonhurst-Dyker Heights area – an infamously overcrowded slice of Southwest Brooklyn’s District 20 – is getting a little reprieve in the form of a new school.
DOE is putting the finishing touches on one of the two former sites of Our Lady of Guadalupe School (7301 15th Avenue), a two-story building that will serve as an annex to P.S. 112 (7115 15th Avenue), according to officials.
“It’s a small site,” explained Laurie Windsor, president of the Community Education Council (CEC) for District 20. “That was one of the reasons that it became an annex, or a split site as it’s called.”
