The city is looking to hear from the community about the possibility of putting a new school at 3177 Webster Ave.
If it’s approved, the new school will be a 612-seat primary/intermediate school in District 10, the third most overcrowded district in the city, according to a recent city comptroller report.
Community Board 7 will hold an official public hearing regarding the proposed new school on Wednesday, April 22 at 6:30 p.m. at the Bedford Park Senior Center, 243 E. 204th St.
For more information, call the Board office at (718) 933-5650.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
