Res. No. 1017

 

Resolution calling on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.3067 and a companion bill in the Assembly, to establish a Citywide Educational Leadership Team

 

By Council Members Joseph, Louis, Marte, Zhuang, Feliz, Banks, Avilés, Riley, Ayala, Gutiérrez and Brewer

 

Whereas, The New York City (NYC) Department of Education (DOE) school district is the largest public school system in the United States, serving more than 900,000 students enrolled in nearly 1,600 schools; and

Whereas, Current governance structures, such as District Leadership Teams and School Leadership Teams, provide localized engagement but do not offer a unified, citywide forum through which parents and students can participate meaningfully in system-level decision-making; and

Whereas, S.3067, sponsored by New York State Senator James Sanders Jr., would amend the Administrative Code of the City of New York by establishing a Citywide Educational Leadership Team composed of parents, students, educators, and other key stakeholders to ensure that their voices are incorporated into all stages of education decision-making in NYC public schools; and

Whereas, The Citywide Educational Leadership Team would be responsible for reviewing, advising on, and recommending education policies that promote student achievement, educational equity, and system-wide transparency; and

Whereas, The Citywide Educational Leadership Team would fill a critical gap in governance by establishing an institutional mechanism for sustained and coordinated input from families and students, ensuring that reforms are informed by those most directly impacted; and

Whereas, Establishing a Citywide Educational Leadership Team reflects best practices in collaborative governance and aligns with longstanding demands from families, students, and educators for greater inclusion in education policy decisions that directly affect their schools, curricula, and learning environments; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Council of the City of New York calls on the New York State Legislature to pass, and the Governor to sign, S.3067 and a companion bill in the Assembly, to establish a Citywide Educational Leadership Team.
