School Budget Cut Meeting

EVENT: Empowering your Child for a Challenging Future

NYC School Survey

From PACT:

The Public Advocate's PACT (Parent Advocate Coordinating Team) is taking action to make parents' voices heard! Please join us in reaching out to parents for a major citywide survey.

The Office of the Public Advocate is surveying parents of children affected by major school changes like school closure, co-location, or re-siting. Last year, the state reformed the law to make sure that there is more parent engagement in school changes.

We want to find out more about parents' experience with the school changes, how much information they received, and what kind of input they had in the decisions to close, co-locate, or move their children's schools.

Check out the survey and participate.
