Indeed, the report was submitted at the November 5th meeting of TEYCC.  But given input from the community (57 written comments from local residents and parents, students and teachers from the Brant Street School), the item was deferred. 
Updated plans were posted online (see Supporting Documentation in sidebar).  The item appeared once again at the TEYCC on December 3rd where it was adopted.

As summarized below, a communication was added on December the 16th to the 57 others submitted earlier:
(December 16, 2019) Petition from JL McLeish, The ALPHA Parent Group, containing the names of approximately 816 persons. (CC.New.TE2.58) 
At City Council on December 17th the item was introduced and adopted with amendments, significantly:

5.c Prior to the issuance of the first above-grade building permit, the owner shall make a cash contribution in the amount of $600,000.00 for the revitalization of the playground of the Toronto District School Board property at 20 Brant Street, subject to public access outside of regular school hours, and/or public realm improvements in the area, and/or community services and facilities, all to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

5.f.vii. The owner agrees to submit, and thereafter implement, a construction management plan to address such matters as, including but not limited to, noise, dust, street closures, parking and laneway uses and access. Such plan shall be to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Transportation Services, the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division, and the Ward Councillor, in consultation with the ALPHA School Community, the Garment District Neighbourhood Association, the Toronto Lands Corporation and any other community stakeholders, and shall be submitted prior to the commencement of any demolition, shoring or excavation work; and

7. City Council request the Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District, to review existing policies with respect to protecting and enhancing school yards, as part of the work to implement the TOcore Parks and Public Realm plan, to ensure their protection as quality public and educational spaces within the Downtown.
