Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to establishing certain requirements for district leadership teams and school leadership teams

AI Summary

This bill amends the administrative code of New York City to require both district leadership teams and school leadership teams to include student representatives. For district leadership teams, a high school student will be appointed by the community superintendent. For school leadership teams, a student representative will be appointed by the team's chairperson or co-chairpersons. This legislation aims to increase student participation in educational leadership and decision-making processes by ensuring students have a formal seat at the table in both district-wide and school-level leadership teams. The bill will take effect 90 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing for preparatory rule-making to be completed in advance of the effective date. By mandating student representation, the bill seeks to bring student perspectives directly into educational governance and potentially improve educational strategies by incorporating student voices.
