NYC DOE Structure for Supporting Schools December 2011

Support and Supervision of Schools Network Schools self-affiliate to Children First Networks based on common priorities: grade levels, similar student demographics, and/or shared educational philosophies and beliefs. Approximately 50% of Networks are geographically concentrated. Networks are teams of 14-15 educators and administrative support staff that provide integrated support in all areas of instruction and school operations customized to each school’s needs. There are approximately 25 schools per Network. Networks are accountable for the instructional quality, sound operating practices, and overall student achievement of their schools. Superintendent Every school is supervised by a superintendent based on district (ES/MS) or geographic bounds (HS). Superintendents select & evaluate principals, approve teacher tenure decisions, lead community engagement efforts in the district, and resolve issues and complaints. Superintendents also communicate regularly with all parent associations in the district or borough and serve as a liaison to the Community Education Councils or citywide High School Education Council. Work closely to provide coherent support and supervision for schools The DOE’s move to a Citywide Network support model has resulted in significant cost savings, allowing us to reinvest the money directly into school budgets: since 2006 the cost of school support has decreased 32%.
