New York University offers space to New York City schools for prekindergarten classes

May 14, 2009
Space crunch at some neighborhood public schools has left prekindergarten program without a home

From The New York Times: New York University, whose expansion efforts have put it at odds with some neighbors in Greenwich Village over recent years, is extending an olive branch -- in the form of classroom space for students who are not exactly its demographic. John Sexton, the university president, has offered to lease the city 5,500 square feet for four pre-kindergarten classes and two offices. The classrooms are needed because of a space crunch that has left 90 neighborhood children on a waiting list to attend kindergarten at Public Schools 41 and 3 in the Village.
