Dear Mr Fleischer-Black,

 

It was nice talking with you today.  I was able to pull the information you requested without the formal FOIL request (see attached).   I’m assuming you no longer need the FOIL request? 

Best regards,
Aaron

Dear Mr. Turner,

 

I understand that the Department of Portfolio Planning has available statistics on the number of zoned and out-of-zone students enrolled at P.S. 9 in Brooklyn. To help evaluate the proposal involving Building K009 that will be voted on by the PEP on Feb. 3, please send me as soon as possible a count of both zoned and out-of-zone students in each grade (K-5) at 13K009.  

 

            -Please include zoned G&T students in this count, but exclude G&T students from out of zone

            -Please break out special education students from general education students. 

 

If need be, I am asking for this pursuant to NY's Freedom of Information Law.  If you will not be able to supply this information today, please let me know when you will be able to supply it. 

 

Sincerely, 

Matt Fleischer-Black

It's about what I suspected, at least trend-wise. More and more people in the neighborhood are sending their kids to PS 9. By the first grade the percentages flip, and even the grand total is not almost 50% as the DOE claimed--it's 41%. PS 9 has no control over G&T, and that's where the out-of-zone percentage is highest. I don't completely understand the last table--did they count all kids in public school? Even there, the trends suggest that we are doing something right.

I guess I'll see you at Brooklyn Tech at 3:30 or something.

Thanks,

Maria

What's really interesting is the rate of change - for the past few years, each year, more kids in zone go to PS 9, and a larger percentage of the children served are in zone.  Which underscores our argument about the momentum at PS 9.

 

I wish we had stats for other local schools to compare this to...
