Site Links Home Search for ERIC Digests Privacy Policy Resources for Library Instruction ... Information Literacy Blog The Education of Immigrant Children in New York City. ERIC Digest. by Rivera-Batiz, Francisco Nearly one third of the total student population in New York City schools are immigrants, and the proportion is rising steadily. This digest presents an overview of all the factors that influence the education of immigrant children, concentrating on the students' needs, aspirations, and attainment, and on the public policies directed at them. DEMOGRAPHICS The number of immigrants recently flocking to New York City has been massive. Between 1980 and 1990 about one million people from over 160 countries moved to the City. Now, over one-third of the City's population is comprised of immigrants (New York City Department of Planning, 1992). For the purpose of securing aid, the City Board of Education takes an annual Federal Emergency Immigrant Education Census, counting children attending a school for three years or less whose total immigrant enrollment is at least three percent of its total enrollment. In the 1995-96 school year, the Census identified nearly 135,000 students-almost four times the number counted only five years before (Board of Education of the City of New York, 1996). These students represent only a portion of the total number of immigrants in New York City schools. In fact, using statistics from the 1990 U.S. Census of the Population, it is estimated that about 320,000 immigrant children attended City schools in 1995-96.

Worldwide Products Services Support ... Press Mentions School System Aces Testing The largest public school system in the United States often makes headlines—whether it’s about the challenges of modernizing the curriculum for children with disabilities or it involves such debates as introducing vouchers that let students attend schools of their choice. But look past the media spotlight into the New York City Board of Education and you’ll see an operation that is intent on accomplishing its goals, particularly in the area of IT. As part of its Year 2000 solution, the board adopted a formal software testing methodology and automated testing tools over the last two years. Now the board sees the value of retaining that quality assurance (QA) solution beyond the year 2000. A permanent QA program is an investment many IT organizations may be reluctant to make, even though it is universally seen as a smart way to produce the applications that run the business. The New York City Board of Education relies on hundreds of business and student applications. Business applications—used to maintain 1,100 school buildings and administer a district with 63,500 teachers—include everything from inventory and facilities management to accounting and payroll. Capturing Organizational Knowledge In 1995, the board appointed a new chancellor, Rudy Crew, who had been a popular superintendent in Tacoma, Wash., and who set about overhauling board operations to improve administrative performance and the quality of education. With an eye toward upgrading IT operations, Crew staffed the IT organization with seasoned managers.

Education is the principal foundation of a civilized society. It is through education that the knowledge that sustains a culture is passed from one generation to the next. With the advent of the Information Age and the growth of our technological society, the educational process has necessarily become more complex. The quest for better administrative efficiency in schools, and thus a better quality of education for students, has led some public school districts to implement a business model concept for administrative tasks. This model includes the idea of viewing school principals and other key administrators as resource managers as well as educators. By providing them with the latest technologies, they can better track and cross-reference key student information in areas such as registers, cross-school attendance, exam performance, and the demographic composition of classes.

The Act proposed to improve the academic achievement of all students. It pledged additional funding for quality teaching, proven instructional methods, choices for parents of students in low performing schools, and stronger accountability for achievement, including closing achievement gaps among different groups of students. No Child Left Behind Act, which passed Congress with broad bipartisan support, is the latest reauthorization of the federal law on elementary and secondary education. First enacted in 1965 as part of President Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty," the law encompasses Title I, the federal government's largest program of school aid for disadvantaged students.

October 14, 1993 1 No. 192 [1993 NY Int. 193] Decided October 14, 1993 This opinion is uncorrected and subject to revision before publication in the New York Reports. Frederick K. Reich, for Appellant. Deborah R. Douglas, for Respondent. HANCOCK, J.: For reasons to be explained, we conclude that a board of education may not have access to sealed records for such purpose. It follows that in this case there was no legal basis for directing the unsealing of records pertaining to the unsuccessful prosecution of respondent for a misdemeanor charge of drug possession. There should, accordingly, be a reversal. I The board brought the instant application on January 21, 1992 in Supreme Court for an order unsealing the criminal court records as well as releasing the prosecutor's file and the physical evidence. Supreme Court granted the board's application, concluding that despite the lack of specific statutory power it had inherent discretionary power to unseal records "in extraordinary circumstances in the interests of fairness and justice", citing Matter of Dondi (63 NY2d 331, 338) and

Violence rises between Asian and African American Students in NY Schools (May. 14, 2004) Civil Rights laws are kicking up in New York with the rising tension between Asian and African American students in New York's public high schools. A proposed state law focusing on prohibiting discrimination and harassment of students in public schools on the basis of race, color and sexual orientation will now probably pick up in its progress. The Dignity for All Students Act was passed by the New York State Assembly. In order to become law it still has to be passed by the State Senate and Governor George Pataki must sign the bill into law. The bill sets guidelines and policies for how schools can best remedy incidents of harassment or discrimination and incidents must be reported. Some New York City school authorities have denied that Asians are targeted for more bullying and harassment than students of other ethnicities. But at a recent public hearing, parents and students from the Korean and Chinese American community said Asian students are becoming the target of physical attacks and verbal harassment, particularly by African American students, and that they were being picked on because of their ethnicity. A Korean student said that Asian American students are often abused verbally and called "chinks." After one incident on March 23, a group of Korean American and African American students fought in a park near their school, according to the newspaper. Since the altercation, the Asian American students were absent from school for three weeks because they still felt threatened.

The normal school term food program consists of breakfast, lunch, and in many schools, "Latch-Key" meals served after school. Throughout the summer and during many extended holiday recess periods, over 900 schools provide breakfast and lunch at no charge to all persons under 18 years of age. Except for a handful of sites and meals are prepared hot at the school site to enhance palatability and encourage student participation. This type of program requires restaurant type equipment, and that requires state of the art pest control services. Member Contacts:

It is hoped that with the favorable news above regarding our children's declining asthma rate and the cost analysis showing our program to be an obvious "bargain", that we will receive attention in the staffing department. Progress on 2003 Activity 1 In the face of staff and budget cuts as mentioned above, I would have to say that a stated goal is simply maintaining our current level of IPM services to 1200 schools with our 14 field technicians. A pressing concern to me looming for 2003 was attempting to continue to provide satisfactory pest control services in the face of reduced staff and looming citywide budget cuts. Our reduced staff of 14 (due to December 2002 layoffs) was further decimated by the resignation of yet another technician in early September. We have, however, not budged on our committment to adhering to the principals of IPM in the ongoing monitoring and treatment of our schools.
