What a flimsy excuse on Mandel’s part. The real reason more likely is that there is no need for another ridiculously high priced private school when all of the public schools in FiDi, Tribeca and BPC are so highly regarded. The storm was just an easy way out. The public schools are so good that we just need more of them as people have made this neighborhood the most desired to raise a family in Manhattan.
