Hearing Tonight on Cobble Hill Charter School

The controversial proposed opening of the Success Academy Cobble Hill charter is going to be the subject of a DOE hearing tonight, and Patch suggests the proceedings might get heated based on an earlier meeting about the school that devolved into a shouting match. The proposal is to locate the school at Baltic and Court streets, in the building that houses the Brooklyn School for Global Studies. Among the folks who have come out against the plan is Assemblywoman Joan Millman, who rallied against Success Academy yesterday and said she supported introducing a pre-K and kindergarten program to the district instead. As Pardon Me for Asking puts it: “Emotions are running high in regards to the latest school controversy in the neighborhood.” The hearing will take place at 5:30 tonight, at 284 Baltic Street.
