Brewer, Council Member of the 6th District of Manhattan, to Melissa Aviles-Ramos, Chancellor of the NYC Department of Education, dated December 18, 2024. The letter advocates for the approval of the contract for the SHSAT (Specialized High School Admissions Test) at the December 18, 2024 meeting. Brewer highlights the impending expiration of the paper format of the SHSAT at the end of 2024 and the potential consequence of no SHSAT being administered if the digital version is not approved. This would result in specialized high schools lacking a freshman class for the fall of 2026. The letter emphasizes the importance of the SHSAT as an entrance exam for specialized high schools, acknowledging the need for greater diversity within their student bodies. Brewer urges the Chancellor to support the approval of the test contract to ensure the continuation of specialized high school admissions.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":20,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/chancellor-aviles-ramos-shsat-test/274394/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/chancellor-aviles-ramos-shsat-test/274394.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"\tWilliam","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-20","2026-09-15",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":52},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What is the purpose of this letter?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The letter is written by Gale A.

The paper format of this test expires at the end of 2024. If the paper format is not up for renewal and the digital test is not approved, then no SHSAT will be administered. That will leave the specialized high schools without a freshman class starting in the fall of 2026.  \nYou lead a great school system, and the specialized high schools are part ofit. We all need to advocate for more diversity in their student body but they need to have an entrance exam in order to offer seats to the incoming class.  \nThank you for your attention to this issue.  \nSincerely,  \nGale A.
