THE POSSIBILITY OF A BIGGER P.S. 130

P.S. 130

IMPORTANT MEETING REGARDING PS 130’s FUTURE!

TUES JULY 15, 2014
6:30pm at P.S.130
70 Ocean Parkway


The District 15 Community Education Council is holding a meeting Tuesday July 15, 2014 at 6:30pm, at P.S. 130.  This meeting is about the new school on Caton Ave and E 7th St, which will have a significant impact on our school community. (Childcare will be provided.)

One possibility under consideration is expanding P.S. 130 to use both buildings to create an upper and lower school (K-5).  A P.S. 130 upper and lower school would:

·       Keep our diverse community together

·       Relieve overcrowding immediately when the school opens in September 2015.

·       Provide our students with new resources like a gym, science lab, art room, library, auditorium, etc.


We urge as many parents & community members as possible to come to this meeting and help support our school!

The meeting is open to parents of P.S. 130 students as well as anyone else in the neighborhood who is interested in learning more about the possibilities. Meet in P.S. 130 (70 Ocean Parkway) on Tuesday, July 15th, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Sign up at 6:00 p.m. to make a comment during the public comment period.

Currently under construction, and with an anticipated opening date of September 2015, P.S./I.S. 437 will seat about 750 students. The school will be bounded on the north by Kermit Place, on the south by Caton Avenue, on the east by East 8th Street, and on the west by East 7th Street.
