REGION INFORMATION |
Last February Chancellor Klein released a List of Schools which were exempted from implementing any curriculum changes - subject to a few last minute additions. As you can see by the list many of our neighborhood's schools in former District 15 already met the Mayor's Guidelines. In the meantime check the NYC Department of Education Website for the latest updates as well as the "Children First Agenda" where you will find an ongoing schedule of Public Hearings as to what works in education. The administrator of Region 8 is Dr. Marcia Lyles. There will be10 Instructional Supervisors who will monitor 10-12 schools each. Some kind of parent board, depending on the NY State legislature, will be formed in each community school district. There will be 32 parent boards. Contacting
