    Neighborhoods – such as Williamsburg, Brooklyn; Riverdale, the Bronx; North Shore, Staten Island and Bayside, Queens – each will lose out on hundreds of seats that the agency had expected to build by 2014.

    Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, alone will lose 1,570 previously planned spots for students.
