Five Brooklyn schools subject to receivership hearings
Hearings Start Friday and Continue Next Week
Five struggling Brooklyn schools must undergo public receivership hearings, starting on Friday. Across the city, 27 schools are subject to the hearings, with the majority of them in the Bronx.
The New York City Department of Education (DOE) is required to hold a public hearing for each of the schools that remain identified as “Struggling” and “Persistently Struggling Schools.
These schools have been placed in receivership under the supervision of the DOE. At the hearings, parents and other stakeholders will be able to comment on the performance of the school since it went under receivership and give recommendations for improving the school.
