The Plan and the JSCB are authorized pursuant to special State legislation adopted in 2016: chapter 355 of the Laws of 2016, also known as the Yonkers City School District Joint Schools Construction and Modernization Act (the “Act”). The purpose of the Act is to provide the City of Yonkers (the “City”) with increased fl exibility in fi nancing educational facility improvements. Yonkers Public Schools (YPS) facilities face critical issues involving both their capacity and condition. The schools are overcrowded, resulting in a shortage of between 2,300 and 4,400 seats. Over the last 20 years, no new public schools have been constructed in the City while enrollment has grown and the facilities continue to age. Available funding has been strategically prioritized to keep school facilities in service, but these facilities are far from up to date from a physical condition perspective and as adequate educational environments to facilitate learning in the 21st century. The primary goal of this Plan is to secure access to funding to build a new school on the site of the former St. Denis parochial school located in southwest Yonkers (the “St. Denis Site”). This Plan will also provide a path to obtaining funding to build up to two additional new schools if the City is able to fund the local share of those projects. Additionally, this Plan includes the highest priority infrastructure improvements on the City’s schools. Each of the school sites identifi ed for additions & alterations and/or infrastructure renovations work is described in this Plan. vi YONKERS JOINT SCHOOLS CONSTRUCTION + MODERNIZATION PLAN | PHASE 01 PLAN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Plan identifi es the projects to be undertaken in Phase 1 and their costs, which, in total, would not exceed $523M pursuant to the Act. Public input was solicited during the preparation of the Plan. In conformance with the Act, one or more public hearings were held per school site and in the neighborhoods potentially impacted by a proposed project and from which the majority of students impacted reside to inform the Plan. Prior to the selection of any projects to be undertaken, this Plan requires the review and approval of the New York State Education Department (NYSED). (Nothing in the legislation exempts a project from the review and approval procedures of the NYSED.) Additionally, the Act requires that an independent Program Manager be engaged to oversee the implementation of the Plan. This Plan includes the following elements, which are appended in full to this document: •Educational Facilities Plan Update 2019 •District-wide Technology Plan •Diversity Plan •Financing Plan This Modernization Plan outlines the need for three new PreK-8 schools for Yonkers. These facilities range from 90,000 sf to 160,000 sf in size and accommodate up to 2,000 students in total (588 to 760 student capacity buildings). All three new schools are included within Phase 1, however the City recognizes that its local share of the cost for all three facilities is greater than the City’s ability to pay the local share within current budgetary constraints. Therefore, the Plan prioritizes the immediate development of a new school at the St. Denis Site, which the City is in contract to purchase. YONKERS JOINT SCHOOLS CONSTRUCTION + MODERNIZATION PLAN | PHASE 01 PLAN vii Modernization Plan Requirements Pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Act the JSCB is required to develop and submit a “comprehensive draft plan recommending and outlining the projects for phase one it proposes to be undertaken pursuant to this act.” (Emphasis added.). In accordance with State Education Department wishes, the Modernization Plan includes all projects set forth in Phase 1 of the YPS Educational Facilities Plan (“EFP”) adopted by the YPS Board of Education’s (the “BOE”) Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) in July 2019. However, given the City’s and YPS’s funding constraints, as well as the funding limitations under the Act, the JSCB currently proposes construction, as Phase 1A, of a single new school to be built on the site of the former St. Denis parochial school. It should be noted that if at some point in the future the funding formula for the modernization of existing school facilities is modifi ed in such a way as to reduce the local share to an affordable level, the City, BOE and JSCB will consider moving forward with the balance of the Phase 1 projects under the Act as presented herein. The Act was intended to provide the City with additional building aid (aka “Double- MCA”) over and above the current state capital reimbursement rate for new educational facilities. Specifi cally, in May 2017, NYS passed a bill which states that Building Aid would be provided solely for three new construction projects authorized pursuant to the Act. It should be noted that Section

    Westchester County Department of Health Community Health Assessment Data Update 2015.08 Regional School-Aged Children BMI Profiles 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 School Years In this issue: • Number and Percent of School Aged Children who are overweight, obese, and overweight/obese by grade Project Directors: Jiali Li, Ph.D. Director of Research & Evaluation Planning & Evaluation Renee Recchia, MPH, Acting Deputy Commissioner of Administration Project Staff: Megan Cea, MPH, Medical Data Analyst Stan Cho, MPH, Medical Data Analyst Milagros Venuti, MPA, Assistant Statistician Graphic Design: Megan Cea, MPH Robert P. Astorino, Westchester County Executive Sherlita Amler, MD, Commissioner of Health Foreword The Westchester County Department of Health (WCDH) plays a leading role in promoting health, preventing disease, and prolonging meaningful life for Westchester County residents. WCDH monitors and controls the spread of communicable diseases, monitors and regulates air and water quality, enforces the state and local sanitary code, promotes local public health activities, and assures the availability of community health services. To comply with New York State Public Health Law, WCDH completed a Community Health Assessment (CHA) 2013-2017 in 2013 to describe the health status of Westchester County residents, identify existing gaps and health care barriers, assess the availability and accessibility of health care services, and specify public health priorities in the County. This document is intended to supplement the 2013-2017 CHA with updated regional school BMI information. In order to monitor overweight and obesity status and support the statewide efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic, the New York State Student Weight Status Category Reporting System (SWSCR) was established to collect weight status category data (underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese, based on BMI-for-age percentile) on children and adolescents attending public school in New York State, outside New York City.

Winokur Patricia Young, Founder CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Gina Lucas 2 DEAR FRIENDS For over 23 years, REACH Prep has guided students on a 12-year journey of academic and personal achievement leading ultimately to college completion. With a combination of steadfast determination, consistent hard work, and intellectual curiosity, our students harness their potential and thrive in and out of the classroom at some of the finest schools and colleges in the country. From the youngest students to the oldest alumni, they all share a deep appreciation for their transformative educational experiences and a commitment to leading the way for future Scholars. We are inspired by our Scholars’ persistence, accomplishments, and meaningful contributions to their communities. The New York Times recently reported that “black and Hispanic students are more underrepresented at the nation’s top colleges and universities than they were 35 years ago.” With 100% of REACH Prep students gaining acceptance into a 4-year college and over 90% of REACH Prep students graduating from college, our program model of access to a high-quality education serves as aproven and proud outlier to this disheartening trend.
