Andrew Cuomo Governor of New York State The Executive Chamber Albany, NY 12224  \nRichard Carranza, Chancellor Department of Education Tweed Courthouse  \n52 Chambers Street New York, NY 10007  \nDear Governor Cuomo and Chancellor Carranza:  \nAt its Full Board meeting January 24, 2019, Community Board \\#2, adopted the following resolution:  \nResolution In Support of Revised Proposals to Increase Diversity at Specialized High Schools and Other Public Schools and the Disclosure of Data Relating to All Proposed Changes to Specialized High School Admissions  \nWhereas:  \n1. New York State has the most racially segregated public schools in the nation based on a report by the UCLA Civil Rights Projecti ;  \n2. CB 2 is deeply concerned about the inadequacy and inequality of education in public schools throughout New York City;  \n3. New York City’s Specialized High Schools (SHS), as well as many screened public middle schools and high schools, lack the racial, socioeconomic and gender diversity of New York City;ii  \n4. The New York State Hecht-Calandra Act of 1971 requires that SHS admissions are based on rankedorder results from a single admissions test, but also permits an alternative route to admission through the Discovery Program for students who are a) disadvantaged, b) score below the cut-off score, c) are recommend by their local school and d) attend and pass a summer preparatory program;  \n5. The Mayor’s administration has proposed changes to the SHS admissions processiii by:  \na. Expanding the Discovery Program to 20% of seats at each SHS by fall 2020 and requiring that disadvantaged students also attend a high-poverty school with an Economic Need Index of at least 60%,iv  \nb. Passing New York State legislation to i) replace the Specialized High School Admission Test (SHSAT) with a set of criteria that will include, but is not limited to students’ rankings on their 7th Grade New York State Math and ELA exam scores, their rankings within their individual  \nschools on their 7th Grade English, Math, Social Studies and Science course grades, and their being ranked “in the top 25% of the city;” and ii) make offers to the top 7% of students from each public middle school;  \n6. The Department of Education did not meaningfully engage families and students who would be affected as well as parent leaders, educators, researchers and other stakeholders in developing any proposals for changing the system;  \n7. The DOE has not publicly identified nor provided data or details about how it will implement the expansion of the Discovery Program; the past performance of SHS students who were admitted through the Discovery Program; nor, how it will change the criteria for making SHS offers, in particular, comparing course grades from every NYC middle school, limiting offers to students ranked “in the top 25% of the city” and making offers to new or non-public school students;  \n8. The Mayor’s Proposal to change SHS admissions will reduce the number of CB 2 high school students who attend SHSs and create greater demand for non-specialized high schools in District 2, because approximately 19% of District 2 middle school students attend SHSs and a drop to 7% would reduce seats for District 2 students by 177, excluding offers made to non-public school students and the DOE has not announced any plans to increase capacity at either SHSs or District 2 high schools;  \n9.
