What Justin Brannan Forgot to Tell Bay Ridge About the New School
Councilman Justin Brannan read from a paper at tonight’s Community Board 10’s meeting. He made little eye contact with the audience. (See video)
Brannan said the new school at Nathans will have a Nest Program.
1) Brannan did not speak about the new high school on Ovington Avenue and no one on Community Board 10 asked him any questions.
2) Brannan forgot to say that PS 413 will be named after his friend, Joanne Seminara. School names are usually decided by a community – sometimes the school itself. There was no vote or discussion on this naming. I guess the Councilman gets to name the school without community input (probably because nobody on Community Board 10 wants to question it or say anything). Yes, it’s weird.
Update: On 3/20 Brannan wrote that the school is being named after her because she was a good and decent person.
3) Brannan also didn’t tell Community Board 10 that PS 413 will have a dental clinic in the school and all of the children will get free dental care while they are a student at the school. In addition, the parents can sign up to be trained as dental assistants. See video:
