Dear Fellow Readers,

The year’s twelfth edition of the Norwood News is out with plenty of great community news stories to dive into. There’s almost something happening in this corner of the Bronx, and we’ve captured a good chunk of it. And as usual, we’ll start with page one!

Our front-page story captures the conclusion to the New York City Department of Education’s plan to co-locate another school at the DeWitt Clinton Campus. Read the story by Jose A. Giralt. Read what Schools Chancellor Richard A. Carranza said about the hard fought, yet unsuccessful, campaign by the opposition.

Inside the cover you’ll find a piece on holds once again at a skateboard park under construction at Williamsbridge Oval Park, and how local legislators are responding. We also have a piece on a newly opened Kingsbridge Apartments, an example of integrated housing city and state officials want to see.

The Norwood News also highlights this year’s 52nd Precinct Community Council Brunch, which saw the council hand out several honors.

The Norwood News also brings you the regular staples–Inquiring Photographer, Neighborhood Notes, and Out & About. We hope these features make you the smartest person in the Bronx.

So check out the latest edition of the Norwood News. Comments are always welcome. Send them to dcruz@norwoodnews.org or tweet directly to me at @CWEBCRUZER. We’re always eager to read them, and sometimes publish them! And don’t forget to vote!

Keep reading!
