The article discusses the rules on school construction in New York City. The city has created the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) to oversee the design, construction and rehabilitatation of public schools. It has introduced legislation that will reduce construction from eight to four or five years and will spare SCA from restrictive regulations and time delays. The Board of Education has the authority to determine what schools should be built while the SCA is responsible for the design and construction.
