The release of this diversity plan is the next step in the City’s ongoing work to increase school diversity. It represents a critical milestone in the City’s Equity and Excellence for All agenda, and begins to lay out an approach to increasing diversity in the school system. This includes 12 proposals to address policies and practices that pose challenges to school diversity; this report is organized in a way that aligns each activity to one of these proposals. | Equity & Excellence for All |

| 3-K - High School | Established School Diversity Advisory Group to support diverse and inclusive schools and programs | In June 2017, as part of the diversity plan, the DOE established a School Diversity Advisory Group (SDAG) to make formal policy recommendations to the Mayor and Chancellor. The chairs of the Advisory Group are José Calderón, President of the Hispanic Federation, Maya Wiley, chair of the Civilian Complaint Review Board and Professor of Urban Policy and Management at the New School, Hazel Dukes, President of the NAACP New York State Conference, Amy Hsin, Associate Professor of Sociology at Queens College, and Richard Kahlenberg, Senior Fellow at The Century Foundation. The Advisory Group also includes city government stakeholders, local and national experts on school diversity, parents, advocates, students, and other community leaders. During the 2017-18 school year, the SDAG and its subcommittees have collectively held approximately 30 meetings and one day-long retreat to facilitate research and discussion of a number of key policy areas related to diversity. The SDAG hosted public town halls in every borough across NYC and a youth symposium to collect data from communities on the issues important to them. In December 2018, the SDAG will release a preliminary report and will continue to serve in its capacity into the new year. | Equity & Excellence for All |
| Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten | Community School District 1 SIPP Grant and Diversity in Admissions Plan established | In collaboration with the District 1 Community Education Council and the District 1 Community School District Superintendent's Office, the DOE piloted a district-wide diversity in admissions plan for the 2017-18 pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten admissions cycle (for the entering class of fall 2018). Through the pre-K, kindergarten and Gifted and Talented admissions processes, ELL, STH and students eligible for FRL received priority for 67% of offers. For fall 2018 admissions, seven of the 16 elementary schools in District 1 made offers within their target range – offering 57 to 77 percent of kindergarten seats to students identified as FRL, ELL, and/or STH. This is nearly double the four elementary schools in District 1 whose kindergarten enrollment was within the target range in the 2017-18 school year. Of the nine District 1 elementary schools that are not in the target range for offers, five moved closer to the target range as compared to their 2017-18 enrollment. Additionally, as part of District 1’s Diversity in Admissions priorities, 15 of the 16 elementary schools made kindergarten offers to a percentage of students with disabilities (SWD) near the district average – offering 9 to 29 percent of kindergarten seats to SWD. This progress is supported by the district’s Family Resource Center, which opened in October 2017 and is a one-stop shop for families to learn about and enroll in District 1 schools. | Expanding Diversity in Admissions Pilots |
| Middle School | Public engagement process to increase school diversity in Community School District 15 | The Department of Education worked with the urban planning and design firm WXY Studio and the D15 community to develop the D15 Diversity Plan over the 2017-18 school year. DOE and WXY worked with community leaders and stakeholders to convene a project Working Group responsible for ensuring an inclusive community process and for incorporating community feedback into a framework and set of recommendations. Three large Public Workshops and one final Community Presentation were held, reaching more than 500 D15 community members. A final set of draft recommendations was presented at a Community Presentation in June. As part of the plan, all District 15 middle schools will use an open admissions method for fall 2019 admissions and prioritize 52% of seats at each schools for students from low-income families, students in temporary housing, and English Language Learners. | Equity & Excellence for All |
| Elementary School - High School | Announced plan to launch a $2 million diversity grant program for school districts and communities | Using the work in District 15 as a model, the DOE will launch a $2 million grant program for other school districts and communities across the City to develop their own community-driven diversity plans. The $2 million will primarily be used to support community planning processes similar to the one in District 15, including engaging community planning firms with expertise in this work, selecting and developing Working Groups, hosting community meetings and providing materials and translation, and developing final proposals. School districts will be able to apply for the grant this fall. We expect approximately 10 districts to participate in this round of grants. | Targeting funding to foster diversity |
| Middle School | Chancellor Carranza announces district 3 middle school diversity plan | Chancellor Richard A. Carranza announced a districtwide plan to increase middle school diversity in District 3, which includes the Upper West Side and South Harlem. This is the first districtwide middle school diversity plan in New York City, and will prioritize 25 percent of seats for students from low-income families with lower academic performance in middle school admissions. The plan will go into effect for students entering 6th grade in 2019. The development of the District 3 middle school diversity plan has been driven by local parents and educators, including the District 3 Community Education Council and its Middle School Committee, District 3 Superintendent Ilene Altschul, and elementary and middle school principals. | Expanding Diversity in Admissions Pilots |
| 3-K, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten | Aligned admissions processes for 3-K, pre-K, and Kindergarten | The DOE switched from a "Round 1/Round 2" model for the pre-K application and a "Main Round/Waitlist" model for 3-K to a "Main Round/Late Application" process for both for fall 2018 admissions, bringing them into alignment with the Kindergarten application. This greatly simplifies the application process for families participating in successive years' admissions processes. | Simplifying Admissions Methods and Processes |
| Elementary School | Equity & Excellence - Universal Literacy | Through Universal Literacy, schools receive support from a dedicated reading coach, who works with Kindergarten through 2nd grade teachers to ensure students are reading on grade level by the end of 2nd grade. The goal of the initiative is to have at least two-thirds of students reading proficiently by the end of 2nd grade by 2022, with the target of 100 percent of all 2nd-graders reading at grade level by 2026. In 2017-18, 240 reading coaches supported more than 300 schools in fourteen districts. As of fall 2018, 426 Universal Literacy reading coaches will support schools across all 32 districts. In 2018-19, Universal Literacy is expanding to support all 792 K-2 district schools, serving approximately 200,000 kindergarten through 2nd graders. | Equity & Excellence for All |
| Elementary School - High School | Partner with schools to examine their policies, practices and procedures that lead to inequitable outcomes. | Culturally Responsive Environments Attaining Transformative Equitable Solutions (CREATES) is a cohort of schools using the CRE Framework to ensure that policies, practices, and procedures that exist and those that are created, are filtered through a culturally responsive and equity lens. By using this framework and lens, ESI will support these schools on their collective journey towards equitable outcomes for all students. CREATES consisted of 14 schools in the 2017-18 school year. In 2018-19 the program will expand to 34 schools. | Fostering Welcoming School Climates for All Students |
