School Construction Authority accused of promoting sub-standard Dock Street plan

The School Construction Authority allegedly colluded with a Brooklyn developer to propose a sub-standard middle school on Dock Street in Dumbo. According to Freedom of Information Law documents that Council member David Yassky’s office obtained, the SCA knew that the proposed Dock Street middle school would be at a size “compromised from [the SCA’s] standards with premium costs due to the mixed use with the high-rise residential building.” According to a report from Yassky’s office, the SCA knowingly withheld information on making the safest, largest, most cost-efficient school, while promoting the Dock Street plan.
