New Schools Development

Each year, community leaders, educators, and educational organizations collaborate and form new school planning teams that submit new public school ideas to the New York City Department of Education. Since 2002 when Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein initiated the Children First reforms, the DOE has opened hundreds of new schools through this new school proposal process. In addition, dozens of charter schools have opened through the charter school proposal process.

If you are interested in forming a new school planning team, or if you are already on a new school planning team, the links below will lead you to important and relevant documents.
