Pave Academy, a charter school in Red Hook, is closer to getting a building of its own, after crowding at nearby P.S. 15 for the last four years. Brownstoner reported that demolition has begun at the corner of Mill and Henry streets, where the 350-seat charter school expects to move sometime in 2013. Pave Academy’s current location in the P.S. 15 building at 71 Sullivan Street has upset parents and teachers at the public school who claim its hindering their students’ educations, the New York Post previously reported.
