QUESTION

What happens after 60 days for school-aged children in Manhattan who relocate?

Children who relocate after 60 days in Manhattan can return to the arrival center, reapply, and be placed near their school based on availability and family composition.

  • Children returning to the arrival center must reapply for accommodation.
  • The reapplication process considers the family's composition and the child's school enrollment.
  • Efforts are made to place the family as close to the child's school as possible, depending on vacancies.

What my question is, so you stay in Manhattan, you're in school, up to 5th grade, then what happens after 60 days in your new location.
2:22:22
That's what the and parents are asking me, and I don't know the answer to that.
2:22:25
Mhmm.
2:22:25
In other words, you know, summer comes, you wanna go stay at p s 87 or whatever.
2:22:30
How does that work?

So it's the same process that people have now.
2:22:35
They will go back to the arrival center.
2:22:37
They'll reapply.
2:22:38
We will take holistic picture of their family composition, what schools they're in, and what vacancies we have, and attempt to place them as close to their school as possible.
