Brooklyn Townhouse and NYC Schools

NYC public schools has been in the perks business for a long time. To attract late 90's "savior" Joseph Fernandez from Miami, the city had to buy him a Brooklyn townhouse. The home's history since Mr. Fernandez had his brief Brooklyn Heights residency is a curious one. The New York Times, to its credit, recently ran a story on this subject.

One of the article's ironies involved Christopher Warren and "Good Morning America" talking head Tanya Rivero. They owned the home until recently. The home was sold so, as the Times story put it, the couple's children could be closer to the schools they were attending. Unstated in the article were the schools' names, but one can guess they were not in the P.S., I.S., or H.S. collection of New York public schools.
