No bet.  But I'd bet that there's no way it's going to open in September of 2019.

And are they trying to build dormitories on the same R-1-B site? There is the possibility to get a "special exception" for a private school under the zoning regulations for R -1_b zones but dorms for students are a different matter, there is not a provision for that in the zoning regulation for this zone. I think this means that they have to also apply for a "use variance".

Check in here, but posted below it shows that Private Schools can be approved, but they have to follow the process, apply, consult, wait, have a public hearing, then comply.
