This is a request for info on a neighborhood issue from any school board candidates or members) participating in this list. Pratt School (in the Prospect Park neighborhood) has recently reopened as a K-2 school with a promise to add a grade a year to become a K-5. This is now (apparently) being backed off from by the East side Board head. This school is probably unique in that it is naturally integrated both economically and racially by virtue of its surroundings. Prospect Park was the first (and possibly the only) community to actually solicit the proximal location of a low income housing project. It is also a great example of a walk to school building, being served by only one bus, eliminating extraordinary busing expenses. Particularly irritated are families with young children who have bought homes there on the premise of a neighborhood K-5 school. Any comments?
