School Receivership

In April 2015, state lawmakers and the Governor created section 211-f of the State Education Law, which established the School Receivership program as a new intervention strategy to turn around struggling schools.  Education Law § 211-f. Receivership schools were given an initial two-year period under the Chancellor as receiver to improve student performance. Of the 62 NYC schools that were originally identified for Receivership, most have significantly improved and were removed from status. As of June 2024, only 2 schools remain in Receivership status, and all have continued to improve. For specific questions about School Receivership, please contact us at receivership@schools.nyc.gov.

School Receivership Public Hearings

In accordance with New York State Education Law §211-f, and New York State Commissioner’s Regulation §100.19, the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) is required to hold public hearings for identified receivership schools. The purpose of these hearings is to explain the process of receivership, discuss the performance of the school, and solicit input from the public regarding recommendations for improving the school.
