Forest Hills parents whose kids were wait-listed sent a letter to the DOE demanding to fix the issue.
There's more than one reason you have to pester schools' parent coordinators.
Kindergarten waitlists had for several years been an issue at popular public Downtown schools.
The DOE said it won't pursue the site of the former Parkway Hospital.
Parents still worry that a lack of school space will continue to be a problem in the neighborhood.
Dozens of kids are wait-listed and will be sent to schools further away, parents said.
Schools in the neighborhood have had long kindergarten waitlists since at least 2012.
The DOE said it added 25 new seats to the popular school to accomodate a long waitlist this year.
There were 2,361 kids placed on a waitlist for fall 2013, down slightly from last year.
P.S. 276 will open a fifth section of kindergarten in the fall of 2012, staff said.
P.S. 234 is opening a sixth kindergarten class to accommodate waitlisted children.
Four of Downtown's five zoned elementary schools have kindergarten waitlists, school staff said.
The city found space for the waitlisted TriBeCa children without having to relocate them to a school in Chinatown.
