Bill > S03067

This bill establishes a Citywide Leadership Team for New York City public schools to enhance educational decision-making by ensuring diverse stakeholder representation. The team will consist of 25 representatives, including the NYC schools chancellor, union presidents, nine parent representatives (one from each borough, plus specialized representatives like special education and English language learners), ten student representatives (two from each borough), and additional community organization representatives. The team's primary responsibilities include serving as a model for school and district leadership teams, supporting budget alignment with educational plans, developing a comprehensive citywide education plan, creating reporting mechanisms, and holding at least three summits per school year. Key provisions mandate transparent operations following public officers law and Robert's Rules of Order, with a quorum requiring seven members representing different constituencies. The bill appropriates $250,000 to support the team's operations, including an executive administrator, administrative assistant, and stipends for parent and student participants. The leadership team will focus on promoting student achievement, ensuring all stakeholders are included in decision-making processes, and providing a platform for educational improvements across New York City's school system.
