Council Member Rita Joseph asks about the student performance data used to evaluate the impact of the community school model over the past decade. Flavia Puello-Perdomo from the DOE provides insights on the observed improvements and ongoing research.
- Community schools have shown improved attendance rates compared to other schools
- ELA and math scores have demonstrated growth in community schools compared to the rest of the city
- Community schools often have higher concentrations of English language learners and students in temporary housing, showing progress despite these challenges
- The DOE is working with the Research Support Policy Group to conduct more in-depth studies on the impact of community schools

To bring them on board so that will help support providers with invoice paperwork and all that other stuff.

As as we mark ten years of the anniversary of community school initiatives, I'm gonna ask for a little data here.
3:16:51
What's the student performance data you've been reviewing to evaluate the impact of this model in the last decade, right?

What I can say is that we have recently been working with the research support policy group in New York City public schools.
3:17:06
So we know from the RAM and other studies that definitely community schools had an impact on improved attendance.
3:17:13
That we saw across the board that in terms of ELA math scores especially long term when we looked at community schools versus the rest of the city.
3:17:23
We saw growth, right?
3:17:25
And in some cases or in most cases, we know that community schools have higher concentration of E and E, have higher concentration of STH.
3:17:33
So even as we look at like these ten year studies that you're flagging, especially those first subset of community schools that join our pipeline, we can certainly see the growth.
3:17:45
And we're happy to see them with you do a deeper briefing around that and continuing to think not just about payments but also about programs and sustainability and impact Correct.
3:17:56
In each and all of the things that we know that community schools can do.

We don't want to fund just fund.
3:18:01
We want to make sure it's doing what it's supposed to be.
