A group of parents and teachers from P.S. 116 in Kips Bay have gained the support of local elected officials and community boards in their fight against overcrowding.

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

P.S. 290's principal fears that the DOE's rezoning of Upper East Side elementary schools could leave the popular school with too few students, which could then hurt the school's budget.

Parents in northern TriBeCa want to send their children to the local P.S. 234, not P.S. 3 in Greenwich Village.

There are 350 to 370 seats available in P.S. 1 and P.S. 126, a Department of Education official said.

The city wants to send TriBeCa children living above North Moore Street to the Greenwich Village's P.S. 3.

Parents fighting a city plan to send students to Chinatown claim it will hurt the area's development.

The city is not changing its plan to send waitlisted P.S. 234 families to P.S. 130 in Chinatown.

The rezoning would send downtown kids to Chinatown and the Village.

If you think college admissions are stressful, try getting your child into kindergarten on the Upper East Side.

The city plans to build a school on the site of the Peck Slip Post Office.

Innovate Manhattan Charter School will use the space for three years starting in fall 2011.

The Community Education Council was set to discuss the Upper East Side school re-zoning Thursday.

Parents learned Monday that a group charged with choosing a school rezoning plan remains deadlocked.

The city hopes to build a new 400-seat K-5 school where the Peck Slip Post Office now stands.
