Basis Independent Brooklyn, a private school that will cost more than $20,000 per year, is definitely moving to Red Hook. The K-12, 1,000-seat-school faced opposition from the community who argued that they would not be able to afford it, and the community board voted against it. But the Board of Standards and Appeals approved the plans, and it will open next year. The founders of the school have since reached out to the neighbors and will now offer two full scholarships to kids from the community. [WSJ; previously]
