This Joint Public Hearing provided an opportunity to learn more about potential changes to building Q011 and share feedback.
The NYCDOE has issued a proposal to open and co-locate a new elementary school site of the existing multi-sited District 75 school, P.S. Q255 (75Q255), to be called P255Q@Q011 in building Q011 (Q011) beginning in the 2022-2023 school year. Q011 is located at 54-25 Skillman Avenue, Queens, NY 11377, in Community School District 30, referred to as District 30. Q011 also houses the community-based organization Woodside on the Move.
P.S. Q255 is an existing multi-sited District 75 school currently serving students in grades K-12 across
Queens. If this proposal is approved, P255Q@Q011 will open and be co-located with P.S. 11 Kathryn Phelan (30Q011), referred to as P.S. 11, an existing zoned district elementary school serving students in grades K-6 and offering a pre-Kindergarten program.
A co-location means that two or more school organizations are located in the same building and may share common spaces, such as auditoriums, gymnasiums, libraries, and cafeterias.
