Murrow High School at 1600 Avenue L. The SCA will continue to accept public comments until March 25.

  1. Let them build it on ave H. Why build public school in a middle of the community that doesn’t use public schools? Is it an attempt to destroy a nice Jewish block?

  2. To #1: Would love to “stay out of the discussion”, as long as they stay out of our neighborhood, and as long as they stay out of our pockets. Until then, we definitely should not stay out of the discussion.
