Community Board 12 had responded to the city's Inwood rezoning plan with a detailed resolution crafted from
input offered by concerned residents at
multiple community meetings and public
hearings.
To summarize, the written regulations (R - 3600 (c)-RRB- require the Board to notify parents of a potential school closure, prepare a closing study using
multiple criteria that is conducted by a committee (the selection process and requirement for a committee are vague), allow people close to the decisions (e.g. parents at the school) to have
input in deliberations about closing a school before the final decision is made, and arrange public
hearings on the topic.
