SchoolBook reports that while the Department of Education moves to bring a charter school to Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, State Assemblywoman Joan Millman and former Deputy Chancellor for the DOE, Carmen Farina, are backing a new proposal of an early learning center serving students in prekindergarten and kindergarten that would compete with the charter school for space.
Millman said that she objected to the charter school proposal, and opening the center was one of several ideas that Cobble Hill residents were floating as an alternative to the charter school plan. City education officials however said that they have not been approached about other proposals for the site.
