Here’s some good news for parents at the overcrowded PS 8 in Brooklyn Heights. Hopefully the Schools Chancellor will address overcrowding at other Brooklyn schools as well. This from NY 1:

The city is annexing a Brooklyn school to help ease overcrowding.

Schools Chancellor Joel Klein says an addition will be built on P.S. 8 in Brooklyn Heights by 2011.

Local officials applaud the move as a testament to the success and growing popularity of the previously underperforming school.

The expected costs for the project are included in the current
capital plan, and funding for the construction will come out of the
next five-year budget, which begins next year.
