APPROVED AND ADOPTED AUGUST 27, 2013
RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE AUGUST 2013 POSTING OF
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT STATEMENT (EIS) FOR DISTRICT 17
PROPOSED CO-LOCATION INCLUDING EXPANSION AND RE-SITING FOR
2014 – 2015 AND 2015 – 2016 SCHOOL YEAR
WHEREAS, the Division of Portfolio Planning has made proposals for co-locations which include re-siting and grade expansion for 2014 – 2015 and 2015 – 2016, and
WHEREAS, the Division of Portfolio Planning anticipates posting Educational Impact Statements (EIS) on August 28th, and
WHEREAS, by posting any EIS before the start of school on September 9 2013 it will effectively shorten the period of consultation with the community provided under State Law, and
WHEREAS, the posting of any EIS will also diminish the visibility of notice by parents, which in turn will diminish the public participation under State Law. Therefore
BE IT RESOLVED THAT, CEC 17 demands that the NYC DOE Division of Portfolio Planning ceasefrom posting any Educational Impact Statements for the months of August and September proposing co-locations including re-siting of schools and school expansion.
