Receivership Support Toolkit

The Receivership Support Toolkit is designed to serve as a central collection of key resources to support schools under Receivership. Please check back often as new tools and resources will be regularly added to this collection.

What is Receivership?

Receivership Needs Assessment and Continuation Plan Development

: February 24, 2026; 1:00鈥3:30 p.m.

OISR will provide a virtual training session for all Receivership School Improvement Planning Teams and district leaders supporting school teams. This session will kick off the Spring 2026 Needs Assessment and Continuation Plan development process and will include:

  • An overview of the Receivership support model, Receivership Needs Assessment process, and the 2026鈥2027 Continuation Plan template.
  • An introduction to the school鈥檚 OISR liaison and SSP Targeted Support.
  • An opportunity for the school teams to launch the first phase of planning.

School Improvement Planning Teams and district leaders should听register for this required virtual session at this . Additional information will be provided to schools and districts in early February under separate cover.

Data Support

Having a data plan in place to effectively measure the impact of the school鈥檚 Continuation Plan and aligned district support on moving the school鈥檚 progress toward achieving its DI Indicator targets is vital to advancing schools within the Receivership support model.听

At any time during the plan development and implementation process, school and district leaders can submit a request to their OISR liaison to schedule an 鈥淥ffice Hours鈥 meeting with the Office of Accountability鈥檚 Policy, Research, and Analytics (PAR) team to receive data analysis support. During these meetings, the PAR team can provide information and guidance to support schools and districts with strategies for analyzing state-level and locally accessible data to inform plan development, as well as to measure and assess the impact of the school's Continuation Plan over time.

Below are links to resources frequently requested by schools under Receivership that are drawn from a larger collection of听resources and data听available on the听School and District Accountability Resources and Data听webpage.

Role of the OISR Liaison

All schools in the Receivership support model are supported by a liaison from the OISR. Liaisons will have a minimum of four touchpoints during the Needs Assessment and Continuation Plan development process and then will be the primary contact and support for school and district leaders during plan implementation through the Performance Management and Technical Assistance process.

Performance Management

Public Hearings and Parent Notifications

Requirements for Newly Identified Schools

  • Written Notification of Designation: Schools are to provide written notice to parents of, or persons in parental relation to, students attending the school, as well as the Board of Education, that the school has been placed under Superintendent Receivership along with a description of the reason(s) the school has been so placed. Such notice shall be provided in English and translated, to the extent practicable, into the recipient's native language or mode of communication.
  • Public Hearing:听The school must conduct at least one public meeting or hearing for purposes of discussing the performance of the designated school and the construct of Receivership. The school must also provide reasonable notice to the public of such public meeting or hearing as described in Commissioner鈥檚 Regulation 搂100.19 and provide members of the public who are not able to attend such public hearing with the opportunity to provide written comments and feedback in writing and/or electronically.

Requirements for Schools Continuing Under Superintendent Receivership

  • Written Notification of Designation: By June 30th of each school year that a school remains under Receivership, the school must provide written notification to parents of, or persons in parental relation to, students attending the school that the school remains identified, along with a description of the reason(s) the school has been so designated.
  • Public Hearing: Schools must also hold annual hearings within 30 calendar days of the first day of student attendance in September of each school year that the school remains identified.

School Improvement Grant (SIG) Basic and Targeted Funding

Districts will be provided with funding to support schools under Receivership to implement their 2026鈥2027 Continuation Plan. Information about 2026 - 2027 funding will be available on the听SIG Funding webpage in Spring 2026.

Schools under Receivership will be eligible for a SIG Targeted Grant to directly support the needs of the school. Additionally, schools under Receivership will generate funding for the district SIG BASIC allocation.
For 2026鈥2027 SIG BASIC, NYSED will implement an equitable funding formula to calculate the district allocation. This formula will take into consideration the number of students served, along with additional factors, such as the number of homeless students and the number of English Language Learner students served. Schools under Receivership will generate a higher weight within this formula. More information about this grant, including the district funding allocation, will be available in the Spring.

Districts should approach the use of Title I, 1003 SIG Basic funding, and SIG Targeted Support funding for Long-Term Identified Schools with the recognition that they must fulfill two distinct responsibilities:

  • Establish and maintain cohesive district and school-level systems and structures that promote sustained school improvement; AND
  • Provide schools with sufficient support to effectively implement their Continuation Plans.
