School Rezoning

'You’re pitting families in Queens against each other because there’s not enough good schools.'

"The children of the Amsterdam Houses have suffered from a blind eye turned towards them for decades."

The plan involves rezoning three buildings in the Lincoln Towers complex out of a highly-coveted school district.

Hundreds of residents joined local politicians on Saturday to protest a proposed school rezoning they say would unnecessarily divide an UWS community that has sent its children to the same elementary school for half a century.
