Commissioner Elia Identifies 144 Struggling and Persistently Struggling Schools to Begin Implementation of School Receivership in New York State

State Education Commissioner MaryEllen Elia announced today that the Department has identified 144 schools in 17 school districts as Struggling Schools or Persistently Struggling Schools.听 Of the schools identified, 124 were identified as Struggling Schools and 20 were identified as Persistently Struggling Schools.

鈥淚n those schools designated as Persistently Struggling, there will be an unprecedented infusion of resources to support school turnaround efforts,鈥 said Board of Regents Chancellor, Merryl H. Tisch.听 鈥淭his is an opportunity that communities must seize to come together to fundamentally rethink how these schools carry out their obligations to students and families.鈥

鈥淚n these schools, whole generations of students have been left behind,鈥 said Commissioner Elia. 听鈥淎s a former school superintendent, I know how important it will be for superintendents to use their new authority to develop robust plans to improve student performance.听 Superintendents have an obligation to act on conditions that have persisted for too long in these schools.鈥

In April 2015, the legislature and governor created a new section of State Education Law pertaining to school receivership. 听In June, the Board of Regents approved new regulations to implement the provisions of the law.

Struggling Schools are defined as schools that have been identified since 2012-13 as Priority Schools (i.e., among the lowest performing five percent of schools in the state).听 Priority Schools that have been in the most severe accountability status since the 2006-07 school year have been identified as Persistently Struggling Schools.

Under the receivership law, a school receiver is granted new authority to, among other things, develop a school intervention plan; convert schools to community schools providing wrap-around services; expand the school day or school year; and remove staff and/or require staff to reapply for their jobs in collaboration with a staffing committee.

In the 20 schools identified as Persistently Struggling, the superintendent first serves as the receiver and is given an initial one-year period to use the enhanced authority of a receiver to make demonstrable improvement on annual goals established by the Commissioner, including student performance.听 Absent demonstrable improvement, the Commissioner will direct the school board to appoint an independent receiver within 60 days. 听The Commissioner will work closely with the school board to ensure that the most qualified individual is identified and the appointment of all independent receivers must be approved by the Commissioner.听 Additionally, the school will be eligible for a portion of $75 million in state aid to support and implement its turnaround efforts over a two-year period.听

Struggling Schools will be given two years under a 鈥渟uperintendent receiver鈥 to make demonstrable improvement or the district will be required to appoint an independent receiver and submit the appointment for approval by the Commissioner.听 Independent receivers, who can be an individual, a not-for-profit organization, or another school district, have sole responsibility to manage and operate the school and have all of the enhanced authority of a school receiver.听 Independent receivers are appointed for up to three school years and serve under contract with the Commissioner.

As with Persistently Struggling Schools, the independent receiver appointed by the district must be approved by the Commissioner, and the Commissioner will make the appointment if an acceptable receiver is not selected by the district.听

The table below shows the distribution of Struggling Schools and Persistently Struggling schools by district.
