“#Parents in uproar after city abandons school construction project<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n They got ditched.<\/p>\n

Furious Brooklyn parents claim the city defunded an ongoing school construction project and left behind gaping holes in their kids\u2019 playground.<\/p>\n

The city began the work at PS 9 in Prospect Heights in August and told parents they would wrap up by late September, parents and public officials said at a Friday protest at the school.<\/p>\n

But fuming moms and dads said budget cuts led City Hall to abandon the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was started in the summer and then the funding was pulled and leaves us in the middle of this,\u201d said Yvette Bucker, the mother of a fourth grader. \u201cOur kids are hurt, they can\u2019t go outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parent Jordan Feigenbaum said the school\u2019s 900 students have been deprived of crucial recreation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week we were told the project was stopped,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a funding issue. This is a safety concern because there is an open hole behind a fence. Half our yard is not usable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feigenbaum and others demanded that the funding be restored and the project completed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

City councilwoman Laurie Cumbo said usable open spaces are especially crucial during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is negligent to not be able to have an open playground field for our students to be able to play in, to be able to learn in,\u201d she said, adding that she has reached out to City Hall and the School Construction Authority.<\/p>\n

City Hall did not immedia<\/a>tely comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
