Schools Chancellor David C. Banks announced new adjustments to improve and streamline the enrollment and admissions in New York City public schools to ease the process for families across the city.
In his announcement on March 9, Banks acknowledged the confusion that the Department of Education’s (DOE) admission and enrollment policies have created, vowing to utilize his new vision to eliminate any miscommunication so students and their families can know exactly how and when to engage in decision making when it comes to choices in education.
“I’ve heard from families across the city over the past two months, and the consensus is clear: we must reform our enrollment and admissions policies and expand access to quality schools,” said Banks. “The decades-long status quo of dread and stress around this process ends under this administration. As we look ahead to next year and beyond, we will continue to collaborate with our families on strategies to streamline our policies and expand high-quality learning opportunities for every child.”
