New York Appleseed & Fordham Law School cohost “Two Decades of NYC High School Admissions: Effects, Equity, and Experiences”

Fill 221Created with Avocode. Join PTAlink there!

New York Appleseed is cohosting a day-long conference with Fordham Law School on November 18th at Fordham Law School titled “Two Decades of NYC High School Admissions: Effects, Equity, and Experiences” where we will commemorate the twentieth anniversary of New York City’s high school centralized admissions process.

The conference will examine New York City’s high school admissions process, the various original policy rationales for its adoption, and what current scholarship and research show concerning its impact on students, families, and schools. The conference will also explore seat assignment systems and decision-making, as well as the effect of the pandemic on how school systems, including New York City, changed admissions for selective schools—and how some of these changes have been rolled back. Finally, the conference will also delve into the public conversation around high school admissions and ask how students, families, and educators would like to make the process more responsive to their goals and needs as well as more democratic.

The link to sign up for the event can be found here. Please note that the registration fee is waived for New York City public school students, parents and guardians as well as for college and graduate students. Please also share with your larger networks!
