Bill > S04385

This bill establishes a Parent and Student Training Center within the City University of New York (CUNY) to provide training and support programs for parents of students attending public schools in New York City. The center will conduct outreach and recruitment to increase diversity in school governance and participatory structures, implement programs to enhance parents' ability to support their children's educational success, and assist parents and students in interacting with the city's Department of Education. The center will prioritize schools and districts with low academic achievement, a high density of English language learners or low-income families, and ineffective or non-existent parent associations. The city of New York is required to provide annual funding for the center, matching the state's appropriation up to $800,000 per year.
