| Abstract: |
This report presents analyses of the state of education in New York City ahead of the approaching mayoral primaries and election. It focuses on the role that the mayor can and should play in bringing the city's school system to much greater levels of success than it is currently achieving. The underlying theme of this report is that the current depressed state of achievement in the school system is the result of poor decisions made during the de Blasio administration and the slow and timid attempts at reform from the Adams administration. This report points to the successful policies of the Bloomberg administration as evidence that real improvement is possible with an unrelenting focus on school accountability, the expansion of educational opportunity through a dynamic system of new school creation, and the closure or merger of underperforming and under-enrolled schools. After a brief introduction, the report discusses nine critical areas for the city's schools. It ends with 18 specific recommendations to strengthen the Department of Education's programs and schools, expand educational choice and innovation, and mount a necessary legislative effort in Albany to facilitate true reform and develop a family and community focus to make New York City and its schools attractive to families once again. |
