GothamSchools — daily independent reporting on NYC public schools

With both the state and city facing a serious budget crunch, the city schools are now looking at their fifth round of budget cuts in the last two years. Mayor Bloomberg has asked the Department of Education to cut its budget midyear by 1.5 percent, and both he and Gov. Paterson warn that steeper cuts are not too far in the future. 

We want to know how what’s really at risk at schools across the city. Add a comment on this page to document what’s on the chopping block at your school. Include an address when you post your comment and the information you leave will be displayed on the map at the right. Read more about why we are collecting information this way.

Please note: Comments from before November 2009 reflect the budget cuts that were made before the start of the 2009-2010 school year.
