The Columbia Science, Math and Engineering Secondary School was announced in October 2005, with NYC Mayor Bloomberg present.[1][2] It will be a magnet school of about 650 students. It will be part of the Manhattanville expansion. Some people think it's a 'bribe'. Others think it's no coincidence that the acronym is "CSMESS".

When the department of education tried to temporarily house the program at local P.S. 36, parents threw a hissy-fit and accused the DOE officials of answering to their puppet masters at Columbia. [3]
