On June 2 I participated in a panel discussion on the use of screens in NYC public school admissions organized by The Century Foundation. Video of the live-streamed event can be found here.

In this op-ed for the New York Daily News, Dora Galactos, Laura Petty, and I address the need for the NYC Department of Education to re-think screened school admissions in 2020-21.

How will the 1/3+ of NYC high schools that screen students using grades, test scores, and attendance make admissions decisions without those measures? I and others weigh in on this question in this Chalkbeat article from May 5.

This excellent City Limits article from Jeanmarie Evelly tackles the issue of long commutes to school in NYC, a byproduct (for some) of its open enrollment system. The article provides a perfect summary of my report with the Urban Institute which examined commuting time to school by student background. The most consistent finding is that black students in NYC travel much further to school than others.
