REVISED EDUCATIONAL IMPACT STATEMENT:The Proposed Temporary Co-location of a New PublicCharter School, East Harlem Scholars Academy CharterSchool (84MTBD), with Existing Schools Central Park East I(04M497), Central Park East High School (04M555), and J.H.S.013 Jackie Robinson (04M013) in Building M013I. Summary of Proposal

In an Educational Im pact Statement ("'LIS") posted on February 5,20 II and amended on February 17,2011. the New York C it y D epa rtment of Education ( ' "DOE") proposed to open and t er npo ra ri ly site I~astHarlem Scholars Academ y Charter School ( 841v1TBD , "Eas t H arlem Scholars"), a new public charterschool that would serve students in kindergarten through f lth gra de, in B uild in g 1 v1 01 3 (" 'MO 1 3"). locatedat 1573 M adison Avenue in M anhattan. in Community School D istrict 4 . East H arlem Scholars would beco-located ill M O Ll with Central Park East I (04M497 , "ePE 1"), .I.1I.S. 013 Jackie Robinson (04Jv10 13,".1[3"), and Central Park East Iligh School (04M 555, "CPEllS"). There ar e also three Com munity BasedOrganizat ions ("CBOs") that have been allocated space in M O 13: Fast H arlem Tutorial, G irls Ine.!M ountSinai. and Harlem Family Inst itute, A "co-location" m eans that two or more school organizations arelocated in the same building and may share COmI11011 spaces like auditorium s, gym nasium s, and cafeterias.The proposal was approved by the Panel for Educational Policy ("PEP") on M arch 23. 20 1 1.T his r ev ise d EIS includes an adjusted projected enrollm ent Co r C I> EIIS th at co nform s with b ud ge t r eg iste rprojections for 20 I 1-20121. As a result, it also changes the total number o r studen ts pro] ectcd to be servedby all four schools and the projected building utilization rate fix the following school year. This revisedEIS also includes additional inform ation on extracurricular activ ities at ePE I.J 13 and C PEl-IS and updatesinform ation related to the admissions process at the co-located schools.The DOE has also published a substantially revised Huilding U tilization Plan ("BUP"), which is annexed tothis revised EIS. The revised BUP makes the follow ing changes:

the number of students that ('PEl-IS is projected to serve in tile coming years has been revisedto reflect b ud ge t r eg is te r p ro je ctio ns for 20 ['1-20 12. The number of sections CPEllS willprogram to serve these students has also been revised, resulting in revisions to. CPEH S'sbaseline allocation of spacein f utu re y ea rs :

the allocation of space between all four school organizations has been changed to reflectCPI::1 IS's re duc ed b ase line a llo ca tion ;

the baseline allocation for CPI: I has been adjusted to reflect the correct number ofclusterrooms based on the s ch oo l's e nro llm en t:

the floors that each school w ill be located on have been noted: and the proposed shared space schedule on pages 14-15 has been alii usted and the DOL has

clarified the rationale for the amount of time that each co-located school is allocated in theshared spaces under this proposal.

'This is a proposal to incubate East Harlem Scholars in MO 13 for two years - the 2011-2012 an d 2012-2013school years. Incubation means the school w ill not serve its full grade span during the period of thisproposal, The DOE will evaluate the space available in M O 13 and other D istrict 4 locations and w ill issue anew EIS J~)1 'the long-term siting ofEast Harlem Scholars based on the most a ppro pria te sp ac e a va ila ble forthe 2013-2014 school year and beyond.

IBudget register projections ar c the DOE's official enrollment project ions for the follow ing academ ic year, and prov ide the basislor the financial budget of each school based on the num ber of students i n t ot al , and th e number o fstu de nts r eq uir in g lE I> a ndELl, services. These projections were finalized in April 2011.

Extracurricular activities at J 13 include video club, math club, chorus, cooking, guitar, dance,robotics, school newspaper, yearbook. and a variety ofsingle sex and co-ed sports includingsquash. floor hockey. chcerleading, boys and girls basketball. and co-ed flag football, indoor track,soccer. swimming and tennis.

CPEHS admits students in ninth grade through the citywide High School Choice application process and isa screened high school. Specific academic, instructional. extracurricular and partnership programs atCPEIIS include:

Special programs include the Advanced Regents Honors Program, College Now and ThinkCollege Now, Mount Sinai Hospital internships and McdDocs Program. In addition, everyclassroom has new computers and instruct ional technology.

CPEr-lS partners with East Harlem Tutorial. Girls Inc .Double Discovery, Sponsors It)!"Educational Opportunity (SEO) Scholars Program, Minds Malter. Step-Up Program. CollegeSummit. Mount Sinai Hospital Education Department, Clinic Plus Program, Young Audiences ofNew York. and a variety or other colleges. universities. and corporations.

[xtraeurricular activities include College Summit Peer Leaders. student council. internships,robotics. National I Ionor Society, choir. dance. and a variety ofextracurricular clubs including anenvironmental club, Anime. film, and knitting. There arc also a variety of sports teams at CPEJ-lSincluding: boys baseball . basketball . and volleyball; girls basketball and volleyball: co-ed outdoortrack, intramural soccer. flag football, and cheerleading,

The DOE does not anticipate that this proposal would impact the academic or partnership programs oftheco-located schools in the MOI3 building. Similarly, all school organizations in the building would continueto offer extracurricular programs based on student interests, available resources, and staff support for thoseprograms. The proposed co-location will not impact those opportunities, hut those programs may beconfigured differently as a result of this proposal. For example, some activities may need to shareclassroom space, or the scheduling ofthese activities may change as a result ofgreater demands OLltheavailable space during or after school hours. Students will continue to have the opportunity to participate ina variety of extracurricular programs, though the specific programs offered ills given school are al wayssubject to change. That is true for any City student as all schools modify extracurricular offerings annuallybased on student demand and available resources.After school hours. J 13 and CPFHS both lise the gymnasium and the outdoor playground tor their varioussports teams and Public School Athletic League (PSAL) sports. Both schools also use the auditorium afterschool for dance and chorus . .113a lso uses the cafeteria and the library. The DOE notes that East HarlemScholars is a new school that will offer an extended school day that runs until 5:30 p.m. East HarlemScholars is not currently programmed to lise any shared spaces during the other existing schools' alterschool hours. However, if Fast Harlem Scholars wishes to use the shared spaces between 3 :OOpmaLld5:30pm in a way that conflicts with any ofthe existing schools' afterschool activities or programs, theBuilding Council will address this issue.CPE I, .113 and CPEIIS currently offer Collaborative Team Teaching ("CTT") classes and SpecialEducation Teacher Support Services ("SETSS"). J 13 currently offers Self-Contained ("S(,") classes. Theseexisting CIT, SC and SI:TSS classes and services would continue lo be provided, and students withdisabilities will continue to receive mandated services in accordance with their Individualized EducationPI'1I1s ("lEI's"). Similarly, current and future students with lEI's will continue to receive mandated servicesat CPE I, .J 13 and CPEHS. Therapy for students with lEI's may in some cases need to be provided in adifferent part of the building than where it is currently offered. Specifically. occupational therapy will needto be provided in a resource room or administrative space rather than in the gym. This is the way the DOE

Are seeking transfers (based on the guidelines outlined in Chancellor's Regulation A-J 01 );15 or Students who did not participate in the middle school admissions process for some other reason.

When a student eligible for middle school needs , 1 1 1 over-tile-counter placement, his or her schoolassignment is determined by his or her interest, home address and which schools have available seats, andwhere applicable. transfer guidelines. Students are eligible to attend middle school based on the district ofelementary school attendance or the district 10 which the student's address is zoned Ior middle school. Inuri-zoned districts. the student visits a Borough Enrollment Office where he or she meets with a counselorwho reviews options that will meet the student's needs. However. in many districts. students may simplyreport to thelr zoned middle school at the start of the year.If the Division of Portfol io Planning determines that additional aTC scats may be needed, the number ofavailable seats is reviewed and-if space allows=-adjusted in those schools where the admissions methodsarc unscreencd. Students seeking placement who urc zoned to an elementary or middle school seeking anover-the-counter placement are guaranteed a seat at that zoned school. Should a zoned school reachcapacity, the school may be "capped," in "which case OTC arrivals may be directed to a different districtmiddle school. Should sufficient space open at the capped school . the student ha s the right to return if theyso choose. Because the DOE projects .I 13 's enrollment to remain stable during the proposed co-location,the DOE also anticipates that the number ofOTC students admitted to . 1 1 3 will also remain stable.In addition .. screened and audition middle schools and alternative programs are offered through referrals. [11this way, the DOE is able to offer individual students the widest breadth of options across a large numberof schools.Future rising sixth-grade students will continue to have access to a broad range of middle school optionsthrough tbe District 4 Middle School Choice process. Additional information regarding special programsand courses offered by District 4 middle schools arc available in the online Middle School Directory(L 1pdated yearly): http://schools.nyc.gov/ChoicesEnrollmentiMiddle/default.htm .There are also three existing public. charter schools in District 4 which serve middle school grades andprovide a preference Jar District 4 students through the charter lottery application process.

Impuct () f East Harlem Scholars ( 'a-Location on Future Higll School Students ill District -IIn New York City, high school admissions are based on a citywide choice process, with students ranking upto 12 high schools in order of preference during the "Main Round" of high school admissions, CPEHSadmits students through the High School Admissions Process and exercises a screened selection method.Screened programs evaluate applicants based on their academic grades, standardized test scores, at tendanceand punctuality, in addition to other assessments. There will be no impact on CPEI-jS's admissions policiesas a result of this proposal. Students interested in applying for admission to CPEI-IS would participate in theHigh School Admissions Process outl ined below.There arc three rounds to the High School Admissions Process:

Specialized High Schoo ls Round: Students who took the Specialized High Schoo] Admissions Testand arc eligible based on their test score as well as students who auditioned and qualified for La GuardiaHigh School for the Arts receive both a specialized high school offer and. ifthey received one, their MainRound offer at the same time in February. Students who receive a specialized high school offer as well as aMain Round offer must choose between the two.

Main Round: All eighth-grade students (minus those who qualified and accepted their specializedhigh school offer) are in this round. Generally.just before this round is executed. new schools areannounced and all eighth graders who would want to apply to any of the new schools would have theopportunity to re-submit their high school application. The new high school application would list students'new options, in order of preference. and supersede the application previously submitted in December 20 10.

Supplementary Round: Any student who is not matched in the Main Round would have had tocomplete a new high school application in April 20 II. The choices available for these students include anyschool that has available seats at the conclusion of the Main Round.For morc information regarding the timeline and deadlines for the High School Admissions Process, pleasere fe r to the fol lowi ng website: h t tp : // sc h ol J ls .l ly c .g 0 v /Cho ic esE \l lrO llm cnt /H i ghICa le ndu r /d e ti lu ll .h tm .In addition to the High School Admissions Process. some students enroll in schools through an "over-the-counter" ("OTC") placement, as described in the previous section. There is a peak enrollment periodoccurring just prior to and into the opening of high school when thousands of students arrive. Prior to thestart of the peak enrollment period, high schools arc remind ed about the number of OTC students they canexpect. This number is based on a school's enrollment projection and the results of the admissions process.If the Division of Portfolio Planning determines that additional O'TC seats may be needed. the number ofseats available is reviewed and-if space allows-adjusted in those schools where the admissions methodsare Limited Unscreened, Educational Option or Unscreened, Because the DOE projects CPEI-IS'senrollment to remain stable during the proposed co-location, the DOE also anticipates that the number of(He students admitted to CPElIS will also remain stable.

designee must first authorize in writing any proposed capital improvement or facility upgrade in excess offive thousand dollars, regardless of the source of funding, made to accommodate the co-location of acharter school within a public school building. For any such improvements or upgrades that have beenapproved by the Chancellor, capital improvements or facility upgrades shall be made in an amount equal tothe expenditure of the charter school for each non-charter school within the public school building.The DOE notes that East Harlem Scholars will be managed by one of the existing cnos in the building thatcurrently offers services to all of the existing schools. Therefore, the leadership of the existing schools arealready familiar with this organization and their existing relationships should contribute to the smoothoperation of the building during the course of this incubation lor East Harlem Scholars. The DOE will alsocontinue monitor the building environment to ensure that student needs are being addressed.C, Commun"ityThe DOE supports parent choice and strives to ensure that all families have access to schools that meettheir children's needs. The proposed siting of East Harlem Scholars in M O 13 is intended to meet thosegoals by providing an additional elementary school choice option Ja r students in District 4.MO 13 has the rapacity to serve 1,291 students. In 20 10-20 II, the building served only 873 students,yielding a utilization rate of just 68%. Once East Harlem Scholars has completed its incubation and isserving kindergarten through second grade. there wil l be approximately I J JOO-< I,115 students served in thebuilding by all Jour schools. yielding a building utilization rate of 77-86%. This means that by 2012-2013,MO 13 would enroll more students, and the space would be more efficiently utilized than is the case duringthe 20/0-2011 school year.As discussed above. this temporary proposal will not impact the admissions practices or enrollment atCPEL CPEHS, or .113. CPE I will continue to enroll students through a school based application process,C PE HS w ill continue to enrol/ students through thel-ligh School admissions process, and J 13 "v ii i alsocontinue to enroll s tu de nt s t hro ug h the District 4 middle school choice process.In addition to East Harlem Scholars, two public charter elementary schools located in District 4 arc phasingin and give a preference to District 4 elementary school students through the charter school lotteryr .

As DREAM Charter School and Harlem Success Academy Charter School 3 expand to fuJI scale, they willincrease the number of public charter elementary school seats available in District 4.

Detailed information about charter schools will also be published annually and would be available in printor on the DOE website here: http://sehools.nyc.gov/NR/rdonlvres/501 17A5B-DB95-423 1-82CC-16C853A8EE2B/0lCharterSchoolDirec.:tory English.pdfThere are currently 20 district elementary schools in District 4.25 Ofthese, eight received an A grade on the2009-2010 Progress Report: six received a B grade; and six received a C grade. In addition, New York CityCenter for Autism Charter School, Dream Charter School. Harlem Success Academy 3 Charter School,Amber Charter School, and Harlem Day Charter School are all located in District 4. A11serve elementaryschool students and all provide a preference to Districl4 residents. Among these public charter schools,only two received Progress Reports in 2009-2010 and both received a grade of C.The siting of East Harlem Scholars may have a mild impact on the enrollment at these other District 4schools. By 2012-2013. E8Sl Harlem Scholars will serve 45-50 students in kindergarten, 45-50 students infirst grade, and 45-50 students in second grade. If all 135-150 students come from District a. there could bea slight decrease in enrollment at other District 4 elementary schools. However, at this point the DOEcannot predict which District 4 elementary schools would be impacted.This proposal is not expected to impact the ability of community members and organizations to obtainschool building usc permits at MO 13.

B. Cost of InstructionThis proposal should not impact the operating budget or costs of instruction at J[3. CPC [, or CPCHS. Thebasic operating budget for those schools is determined by tile same Fair Student Funding ("FSF") formulaused at a ll other New York City District public schools. Under FSF. schools receive City tax levy fundingon a per pupil basis. Each student receives a per-pupil allocation based on the grade level ofthe student.FSF allocations are subject to annual variation, but for 20IO-201 l , the base per-pupil allocation forelementary schools was $4059.71. for middle school students was $4384.81, and for high school studentswas $4181. J I. In addition, FSF awards supplemental allocations on a per-pupil basis for students who haveadditional needs and therefore cost more to educate. For example, during the 20 I ()-2011 school year.elementary schools received an additional $1623.00 pel' pupil lor each English Language Learner theyenrolled, whereas middle and high schools received an additional $2031.00 per pupil. At the elcrncntarylevel, supplemental funds are awarded for each student who is an English Language Learner, who requiresspecial education services, or who is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. For middle and high schools,supplemental funds are awarded to each student who is an English Language Learner. who requires specialeducation services, or who is performing below grade level upon enrollment. In the case ofstudents whoJ l 1 1 l into more than one of these categories, schools are awarded supplemental funding to meet all of' thoseneeds.FSF covers basic instructional expenses and FSF funds may, at the school's discretion, be used to hire staff,purchase supplies and materials. or implement instructional programs. As the total number of studentsenrolled grows, the overall budget will increase accordingly, allowing the school to meet the instructionalneeds 0 r its larger student population. Simi larly, ifthe total number of students enrolled falls, the budgetshrinks accordingly. as the school will need fewer supplies and potentially a smaller staff.As with all other schools Citywide. J 13. CPC 1, and CPElIS may receive additional "categorical" fundingbased on student characteristics and needs. For example, federal Title I funding is awarded to schools basedon the proportion of low-income students they enroll. All three ofthese schools are currently eligible forTitle I funding. Assuming that the schools continue to meet Title I criteria, the size oftheir respective TitleI funding awards would grow or shrink as the school population grows or shrinks.Whilc schools do receive supplemental support for special education students through Fair StudentFunding, that only represents part of the funding provided to support those students. Schools arc budgetedto meet the needs of their special education students as defined by their Individualized Education Plans("IE:Ps"). Jl3, CPE I, and CPEl-iS will continue to receive funds to meet the needs of all special educationstudents in accordance with their IEPs.Please note that increased or reduced per capita funds allocated to the school as a result of changes inenrollment that may occur do not represent net/incremental system costs. All dollar amounts are based onFY I () allocations and are subject to annual variation based on adjustments to the DOE's overall operatingbudgel.The General Education Charter School per-pupil rate is determined by the New York Slate EducationDepartment ("NYSED"). and is based on a formula used for all traditional public school districts. Theformula divides the district 's Approved Operating Expenditures ("i\OE") by Total Allowable Pupil Units("TAPU'). Special Education funding is an allocation that Charter Schools may qualify for and receive Iorserving students that receive special education services for more than 20% of the week as mandated by anI[P.
