Hearing on Fee Policies

The City Council’s Education; Youth Services and Public Housing Committees will be holding a joint public hearing on the impact of DOE and NYCHA fee policies on the ability to provide services for youth. “Oversight: The impact of the Department of Education’s and New York City Housing Authority’s fee policies on the ability to provide services for youth.”
Both the Department of Education (DOE) and New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) charge fees for use of their facilities. Last spring, DOE adopted a new regulation, Chancellor’s Regulation D-180, regarding the Extended use of School Buildings. This regulation establishes the procedures for organizations and individuals to follow in order to use NYC public school buildings outside normal school hours and on days when school is not in session, including weekends and holidays. The regulation supercedes policies previously articulated in the Standard Operating Procedures Manual (SOPM) and introduces changes in DOE’s policies and fee structure which may impact accessibility of services to children and youth.
Members of the Education; Youth Services and Public Housing Committees would like to hear from the public on this subject.
We invite members of Community Education Councils, parents, students, educators, advocates, and all other stakeholders and interested members of the public to testify. at this hearing.

Event Time: 10 a.m.(*public testimony is estimated to begin after 11:30am)
