NEW ROCHELLE, NY (September 24, 2026) — The City School District of New Rochelle is considering a neighborhood school in the Lincoln attendance zone. Following a 1961 decision by Judge Kaufman ordering Lincoln desegregated, the school was closed in 1963. Anyone picturing a return of that school should look at the demographics of the zone today — and if one were built (the author rates that highly unlikely), it would likely bear little resemblance to the school some advocates have in mind.
