“The city published its improvement goals for 94 struggling schools in its ‘Renewal’ program Monday after facing a wave of criticism over a lack of transparency around the nearly $400 million program.
The city education department also released a detailed summary of those goals in response to charges that it had set a low bar for some of the troubled schools. Last week, a top state official accused the city of permitting ‘failure’ after Chalkbeat reported that the schools had been given three years to meet one-year targets — which a few schools already hit this spring.”
