Why are we here? 4 New capacity is opening up in three parts of District 2. 1.We are proposing to open a new elementary school in Our Lady of Good Counsel, at 393 East 91 st Street, in September In Lower Manhattan, new school will begin incubating in September 2012 that will move into new construction at Peck Slip in September The relocation of middle schools out of M003 and M011 has freed space for more elementary seats at P.S. 3 and P.S. 11. This new capacity can be leveraged through re-zoning in order to most effectively address growing demand and reduce or eliminate waitlists.

Methodology 5 Determining Target Kindergarten Zone Sizes: Enrollment and applicant data, including Historical kindergarten cohort growth Location of current and future housing projects Zoned retention rate of each school How many students who live in the zone attend their zoned school? What is the capacity of each school? Specifically, what is the number of possible sections of kindergarten in each building, based on the number of full-size classrooms; appropriate number of cluster rooms; and historical enrollment increases and decreases at each grade level.

Roles and Responsibilities 6 OPM Office of Portfolio Management Community Superintendent CEC Community Education Council Develops rezoning proposals and maintains maps of school zoning lines.
