Funding and Make Parents’ Lives Easier

New York City General Education public school Kindergarten applications for 2020 were due on Tuesday, January 21.

It was absolutely, positively not due to technical glitches with the very expensive MySchools Parent Portal. (For tips on how to circumvent the technical glitches that absolutely, positively did not happen, go to the Comments section of this post.)

In the weeks leading up to the ultimately missed deadline, I received
dozens of emails from parents asking if they could opt for the school
closer to their work, rather than the one closer to their home, because
it would make drop-off and pick up more convenient. I explained that
while families could rank any 12 schools in NYC on their application,
priority went to children who lived in the zone, then to those who lived
in the district, then borough, then citywide. (For more tips on
strategic ranking, watch the video, below.)
