REZONING
who were unaware of the
prospective changes, department
officials opted
to punt on voting on either
measure.
“What we really heard
was that there were people
who didn’t know what
was going on, and we
want to try very hard to
get out and reach them,”
said Skop.
Members of District 15’s
Community Education
Council — a volunteer advisory
group overseeing
the district — praised the
decision, along with community
leaders who had
pushed DOE to extend the
timeline.
“We’re going to do this
right, we’re not going to
check a box,” said Francisca
Montaña, the Borough
President appointee
to the council. “We are going
to pay a debt that we
have to certain communities.
I am really happy.”
Edwin Pacheco, a pastor
at Redemption Church
in Red Hook similarly
lauded the departments
decision and said he felt
his community was being
listened to.
“Hearing this today was
kind of a win for us,” he
said. “They’re hearing
the community, they’re
responding to it. Even if
we engage and we’re back
at the drawing board, at
least we’ve done our due
diligence and extended
every possible option.”
However, not everyone
was pleased with the Department’s
decision —
including the education
council’s former president,
who called on education
bigwigs to push
forward despite the lack
of clear consensus.
“I’m disappointed that
you’re not going forward,”
said Jim Devor. “I appreciate
that you may not reach
a consensus, but I don’t believe
you can ever reach a
consensus entirely.”
