570 NYC parents, educators & community leaders say to DOE: fix your class size “plan”!
Press release here. Articles in Chalkbeat and Brooklyn Reader.
June 24, 2024
This afternoon, we sent this petition to the Mayor and Chancellor, with copies to UFT and CSA, about the profound inadequacies in their draft class size “plan.” It was signed by about 570 NYC parents, educators, school staff, advocates and community leaders. If you want to send your own comments, you can do so till midnight tonight, Monday June 24 to classsize@schools.nyc.gov
The DOE is supposed to post a summary of the public comments and their response by July 6, explaining why they did or did not take them into account in their final draft plan, along with their revised class size plan to be sent to the state for approval by July 5. See the NYSED calendar here.
If the DOE doesn’t make the sufficient revisions in their plan by then, we will send this petition to the NYSED Commissioner and Board of Regents as well, urging them to require a corrective action plan.
