Over the next month, forums will be held in all five boroughs to gather feedback and answer questions from school communities on the Executive Budget and school reopening
From May 17 to June 9, 2021, NYC Schools Chancellor Meisha Porter will host a virtual five-borough family engagement tour to hear directly from school communities about their experiences over the school year, help answer questions and gather feedback on the Executive Budget, and foster a discussion on school reopening for the fall. There will be a virtual forum held in every borough over the next four weeks, and all families are invited to participate.
Forums will be held in each borough on the following dates:
Staten Island – Monday, May 17, 2021
Manhattan – Monday, May 24, 2021
Queens – Thursday, May 27, 2021
Brooklyn – Monday, June 7, 2021
Bronx – Wednesday, June 9, 2021
In light of unprecedented investments from local, state and federal government, these forums will serve as an opportunity for the Department of Education (DOE) to hear directly from school communities on the types of resources and support they need as we move towards a full reopening in September.
Each forum will be an hour-and-a-half in length, and the format will include audience Q&A. Chancellor Porter will be joined by Executive Superintendents and leadership from the DOE to help answer any questions families may have and facilitate a productive conversation with the community.
Families can register for the forums online at learndoe.org/chancellor. At the time of registration, participants will be asked if they want to ask a question or provide a comment during the event about a number of categories, including health and safety, special education, fall 2021 school reopening, social emotional learning, and more. Each forum will be recorded and posted to learndoe.org/chancellor so that school communities may access them at any time. Interpretation services will be available at every forum.
