Young, Jr. Chancellor of the Board of Regents 55 Hanson Place, Suite 400 Brooklyn, N.Y. 11217 [email protected] Re: Special Education Due Process Resolution and Settlement Processes Dear Chancellor Porter, Commissioner Rosa, and Chancellor Young: We are a group of legal services organizations and attorneys who advocate for the families of New York City children who have disabilities requiring special education services. We previously wrote to you on October 15, 2019 and write now to reiterate significant concerns about the New York City Department of Education’s (“DOE”) continuing failure to meet its obligations under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”), its implementing regulations, and New York State Education Department (“NYSED”) regulations to resolve special education due process proceedings in a timely manner. In this letter, we offer some practical solutions for addressing the significant delays at the Impartial Hearing Office for your consideration. In our October 15, 2019 letter we detailed the legal obligations of the DOE. For the sake of brevity, and in order to focus on solutions, we will not belabor those points and have attached the October 15, 2019 letter for your convenience. We will note, however, that the delays we highlighted in our 2019 letter—and which are documented by the February 22, 2019 External Review of the New York City Impartial Hearing Office conducted by Deusdedi Merced—persist.

Students in the New York City Public School system have undergone significant recent hardships, the result of a global pandemic, a forced transition to remote schooling, a racial justice movement stemming from the killings of Black Americans, rising Anti-Asian sentiment, and economic and political instability; 2. While many families have suffered from job losses, food insecurity, racial trauma, and the death of a loved one, they have also had to weigh the difficult decision whether to send their children back to school or have them learn remotely at home.

  • August 6, 2021 Meisha Ross Porter Chancellor New York City
    August 6, 2021 Meisha Ross Porter Chancellor New York City Department of Education 52 Chambers Street New York, NY 10007 Dear Chancellor Porter: I am writing to urge the New York City Department of Education (DOE) to seriously reconsider the decision to not provide a remote learning option for students and families during the 2021- 2022 academic year. The option may be needed for the entire school year. However, having an option in place for at least the first half of the year is a prudent response to family and community requests. In addition, we are in a different place in the battle against COVID-19 than we were when it was first announced that there would be no remote option for the upcoming school year. The need for a remote learning option in response to COVID-19 is illustrated by the following circumstances: • The Delta variant emerging as the dominant strain of COVID-19 in New York City • Significantly less than 60% of residents in 3 of New York City’s 5 boroughs having received at least 1 shot of COVID-19 vaccines (as of August 4) • The fact that many children are not yet eligible to be vaccinated, in conjunction with the fact that the Delta variant is highly contagious, is concerning because youth do not seem to be protected the way they were against other strains • Although 72% of Manhattan residents have received at least 1 dose and 67% are fully vaccinated, those numbers drop significantly in the northern section of the borough ---- almost no zip code north of Central Park has hit the 60% mark in either category, with 10039 & 10037 (North Harlem) below 50%.
