Girl’s Yeshiva On 16th Avenue Seeks To Double Size; Hearing To Be Held Tomorrow

The Bais Sarah-Educ School for Girls, a Jewish private school, applied for a construction permit that Community Board 11 will have to either approve or reject during tomorrow’s meeting.

Built in 2004, the private school holds 710 students, according to Great Schools, and the request for expansion comes at a time when the school is trying to accommodate more students.

“As with all other schools, the need has increased and they’re looking to accommodate additional students,” District Manager of Community Board 11 Marnee Elias-Pavia said.

The school is looking to build upwards and add an additional three floors. It’s currently three floors.

The school is on 6101 16th Avenue. The board will also be considering an application on 6602 New Utrecht Avenue, where there is an R&D Auto Center. The applicant is seeking to extend the term of an existing variance for 10 years.

The Board’s vote is advisory only, and will be forwarded to the Board of Standards and Appeals for a final determination.
