Portfolio Management
2For discussion purposes
The Portfolio Management team plans and implements structural changes to the portfolio of New York City public schools in order to address systemic inequities in access to higher performing schools.
What are Structural Changes?• Significant changes in school utilization, including:
• Siting of new district and charter schools• Efficiently using underutilized space for new programs and schools• Phasing out schools that are not serving the needs of students• Grade reconfigurations driven by performance and demand considerations
• Zoning Changes• Improving access to programs that serve special populations, including G&T,
programs for English Language Learners, District 75, ASD,UPK , and CTE• Implementing changes in enrollment/admissions policies
• Chancellor’s Regulation A-190 governs the public review process for proposals for significant changes in school utilization.
• For every proposal for a significant change the NYCDOE is required to:• Publish an Educational Impact Statement (EIS) and Building Utilization Plan
(BUP) where applicable;• Schedule and convene a Joint Public Hearing to discuss the proposal;• Produce and publish an Analysis of Public Comment at the Joint Public Hearing;• Arrange for the Panel for Educational Policy (PEP) to vote on it.
• We communicate additional information to families in affected schools and solicit public comment throughout the proposal process.
• Divisions across the NYCDOE support compliance with A-190.

The DOE aims to:

• Use public feedback to inform proposals and gain a deeper understanding of the schools and communities these changes affect
• Keep the public informed with more and improved communications, including websites dedicated to each proposal
• Share documents that are informative and parent-friendly
• Be responsive to individual questions and concerns

How can the public provide feedback about proposals?• When the EIS is published, the formal public comment period commences.
OPM has dedicated website, e-mail and voice mail boxes for this purpose.• Joint public hearings provide a targeted opportunity for feedback held at the
school for comments.
How is that feedback handled?• In some cases, Portfolio Management responds directly to feedback received
through e-mail and voicemail.• All feedback received on-line, through e-mail and voicemail, and at the
hearing is included and responded to in the Analysis of Public Comment, posted the evening before the PEP votes on the proposal.
