Under State law, Contract for Excellence funds must be distributed to schools to benefit students with the greatest educational needs as defined by New York State and must also be spent in six specific program areas-class size reduction, time on task, teacher and principal quality initiatives, middle school and high school restructuring, full-day pre-Kindergarten, and model programs for English Language Learners. Information about the City’s preliminary Contracts plan is posted on the Department’s Website. All proposed allocations described in this plan are contingent on further analysis of school-based conditions. New York City will not be receiving any increase in Contracts for Excellence funding for the 2015-16 school year.
