New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks wants to clear a few things up for students and parents.
“I’ve heard from families across the city over the past two months, and the consensus is clear: we must reform our enrollment and admissions policies and expand access to quality schools,” said the chancellor. “The decades-long status quo of dread and stress around this process ends under this administration.
This, said Banks, should take the burden off families who are confused about the application process. It’s part of his four-pillar system, which he unveiled earlier this month, that would establish a ‘new normal’ in the public school system. Some parent organizations believe that Banks’ goals have aligned with the city and Albany and it seems to be working for now. On Monday, Jasmine Gripper, the executive director of the Alliance for Quality Education, approved of the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly’s 2022-’23 budget proposals including the potential expansion of eligibility for free and affordable childcare. Something that could get Banks’ plan rolling from jump.
It’s an issue that’s stuck in the craw of the previous administration along with former Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza. The decade-long fight for admissions into specialized high schools has pitted the city’s Asian-American community against the Black and Brown community with the former stating that “lowering standards” and not counting the Specialized High School Admissions Test would leave many of their students out in the cold.
