BENSONHURST — A pair of southern Brooklyn lawmakers are asking the city to open a new specialized high school in Bensonhurst, where a soon-to-be-closed all-girls Catholic high school now stands.
State Sen. Andrew Gounardes and Councilmember Justin Brannan wrote a joint letter to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza Wednesday asking that the site of Bishop Kearney High School, which is scheduled to shutter by the end of the month, be dedicated to a new specialized high school.
