Chancellor Banks announced the creation of a new advisory council tasked with boldly reimagining special education in New York City public schools.
The Special Education Advisory Council will support NYC public schools in collaboratively identifying priority investments aimed at ensuring our students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and their families have access to the programs and services needed to prepare them for life-long success.
The Council will identify existing gaps in instruction and programming to ensure that all students all students with disabilities consistently have access to a high-quality education and the resources that allow them to be successful in public school where they have previously been left out.
Participation in this work will not be limited to council membership. We want to learn from all stakeholders who are interested in sharing their perspectives. More information on this work can be found here. Our stakeholder engagement survey can be found here. We just launched this Friday night. We will be engaging stakeholders using a variety of methods on a rolling basis over the coming months. Advisory council members will also be selected on a rolling basis beginning the week of December 12, 2022. If you are interested in serving on the Council and/ or supporting this work in other ways, please complete the survey as soon as possible.
The survey will close on January 15th.
