This is what Brooklyn is about! Grassroots community activism. Brand new neighbor, Melissa Morgenlander, wants to know if you want a Public PreK Early Childhood Center in the northern part of District 15 (Sunset Park already has the terrific Magnet School for Early Childhood)

I did some very fast numbers based on the Accountability reports from last year. The schools I listed were ones that are not within range of the Magnet School for Early Childhood and they didn't seem to be breaking even on their preK/ K populations. Check out 107, 146, 261 and 321 in particular. As the buildings on 4th Ave. fill up 321 will need it's preK classrooms for K and the population at 124 and 295 will most certainly increase.

PS 10, prek 54 seats, K 87 seats

PS 15, prek 29 seats, K 50 seats

PS 29, prek 54 seats, K 79 seats

PS 39, prek 36 seats, K 61 seats

PS 58, prek 70 seats, K84 seats

PS 107, prek 18 seats, K 84 seats

PS 124, prek 35 seats, K 39 seats

PS 130, prek 52 seats (but none of them is full day) K 83 seats

PS 146, prek 36 seats, K 81 seats

PS 261, prek 36 seats, K 108 seats

PS 295, prek 36 seats, K 52 seats

PS 321, prek 52 seats(but only 18 are full day) K 191 seats

Even if your children are too old for preK, I urge you to take a look at Melissa's petition. Help your neighbors!
