RCSD will hold public hearings to improve Receivership schools

The Rochester City School District (RCSD) announced public hearings to address six schools identified as “Receivership schools” under the New York State Department of Education’s Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) model. Receivership schools must show significant improvements in student achievement, and superintendents are granted increased authority to manage these schools. The six schools include School No. 16, Monroe Upper School, Edison Career & Tech, Henry Hudson School No. 28, and John James Audubon School No. 33.

RCSD will hold four additional public hearings in September to discuss each school’s performance and the Receivership process. Public feedback will be accepted at these meetings, with the goal of improving school outcomes. Meetings have already been held for School No. 16 and Monroe Upper High, and the remaining schools will host hearings on:

• Edison Caree & Technology High School — Thursday, September 12 at 6:45 p.m. Parent Retreat
• East Lower School — Thursday, September 19 at 6:30 p.m. Open house
• Henry Hudson School No. 28 — Wednesday, September 25 at 5 p.m. Open house
• John James Audubon School No. 33 — Thursday, September 26 at 4:30 p.m. Open house

Further details about the Receivership process can be found on the Department of Education’s website.
