In November 2014, the New York City Department of Education released two new school quality reports, which present information about the school's practices, learning environment, and performance results. The School Quality Snapshot is designed specifically for families, and provides a concise summary of each school's practices, environment, and performance. The School Quality Guide is a more detailed report with additional information, including multiple years of data to show the school's progress over time This school year, we made several important improvements to the School Quality Reports to incorporate school community feedback and build off of last year's changes to move beyond test scores and focus on multiple measures of school improvement. Most significantly, the reports are now aligned to the six essential elements of the Framework for Great Schools: Rigorous Instruction, Collaborative Teachers, Supportive Environment, Effective School Leadership, Strong Family-Community Ties, and Trust. The reports provide schools with a clear picture of their strengths and areas of growth across these elements, which research shows drive student achievement.

In this Proposed Amendment, the key changes include the identification of 10 new capacity projects creating 5,454 seats and 52 Pre-Kindergarten sites which would create more than 6,800 seats; display of additional TCU removal projects completed and identified; increase of funding for Student Bathroom Upgrades; and inclusion of selected cafeteria upgrades as well as identification of one additional year of Capital Investment projects.
