District 2 Community Education Council

Critics of Success Academy charter school said Manhattan's District 2 is already overcrowded.

The DOE may eliminate pre-k programs to free up space for hundreds of waitlisted kindergartners.

Even though other schools have huge waitlists, P.S. 11 has accommodated all its zoned students.

P.S. 234 has received 163 applications for 125 kindergarten seats.

Waitlists are predicted at P.S. 40 and P.S. 116, although P.S. 59 might be spared.

Parents can choose between P.S. 41, P.S. 3,  P.S. 11 and P.S. 33.

CEC District 2 approved sweeping school zoning changes in lower Manhattan and the Upper East Side.  

P.S. 234's current zone will remain intact in the fall of 2012, DOE officials said Monday.

The District 2 Community Education Council asked the Department of Education to go back to the drawing board at a meeting on Nov. 16, 2011.

The DOE's new plan sends some children zoned for P.S. 234 in TriBeCa to P.S. 1 in Chinatown instead.

The DOE will offer a new plan for rezoning Downtown's schools, after parents objected to an earlier proposal.

A DOE official said the city may not force TriBeCa children to attend P.S. 3 in Greenwich Village as proposed.

The District 2 Community Education Council expressed concerns about the city's rezoning proposal on Oct. 17, 2011.

Brokers predict that proposed school rezoning in District 2, which covers TriBeCa, won't significantly affect condo prices, as some have feared.

At a community board meeting on Wednesday night, parents and teachers from P.S. 116 came out in force, asking for the board's help in their fight against overcrowding.
