Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a parent participation board and an office of education ombudsperson for each community school district in the city school district of the city of New York, and directing each borough president of the city of New York to establish a parent academy
Purpose
Establishes a parent participation board in each community school district in the city school district of the city of New York.
Summary of provisions
Amends the education law by adding sections §2590-cc, §2590-ee and §2590-v with relation to creating a parent participation board in each community district in New York City to operate as a liaison with agents of mayoral control.
Justification
The chief complaint of mayoral control since it was implemented in 2002 has been that it excludes parental involvement. By establishing parent participation boards in each community district throughout New York city, parents will be better able to participate in decisions regarding education and school budgeting. Among the responsibilities of the board shall be to evaluate district performance, advise the chancellor, and make recommendations to the panel on education policy.
