Kids weren\u2019t in school, so couldn\u2019t do much to earn suspension for the final three months of that session. Not much of an excuse for Chancellor Richard Carranza to take a victory lap there.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, suspensions \u2014 or at least formally recorded ones \u2014 have trended down since the DOE (yet again) softened the school-discipline code. But that\u2019s hardly an achievement: Make it harder for school leaders to hit kids with a real penalty, and you\u2019ll get fewer such penalties imposed (at least officially).<\/p>\n<p>Such absurdities are rife under Carranza. The DOE also claims good attendance numbers \u2014 ignoring the fact that it\u2019s not pushing any school to take real attendance these days, especially not for kids in remote classes.<\/p>\n<p>Worse, Team Carranza notes it still has \u201cwork to do\u201d as racial disparities persist among suspensions \u2014 meaning it\u2019s going to see that even fewer kids face meaningful discipline. Meanwhile the chancellor\u2019s minions continue to ignore a genuine issue of educational equity: special education in the time of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>As <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ny.chalkbeat.org\/2020\/11\/3\/21548571\/special-education-coronavirus-services\">Chalkbeat also reports<\/a>, thousands of public-school students with disabilities missed out on mandated services last year. And the ensuing school closures during the pandemic only increased the problem: A new DOE report admits that thousands more students missed on referrals for special-ed evaluation and ancillary services. And that report barely scratches the surface of how the system failed one of its most-at-risk groups during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Even in normal times, the DOE has trouble getting these kids their mandated services: Its own data show that it falls down for 17 per\u00adcent of these students. Going all-virtual after March only made it easier for the DOE to shrug.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe someday New York City will have a chancellor who actually cares about kids.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/11\/04\/fresh-signs-that-carranza-doesnt-give-a-damn-about-nycs-schoolchildren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Fresh signs that Carranza doesn\u2019t give a damn about NYC\u2019s schoolchildren&#8221; City Department of Education officials are crediting their \u201crestorative justice\u201d initiatives with bringing school suspensions to a record low during the 2019-2020 school year, Chalkbeat reports.
