Contracts for Excellence 2011-2012 Annual Hearings

The Governor's 2011-12 Approved Budget states that “School districts that submitted a contract for excellence for the 2009-2010 school year, unless all schools in the district are identified as in good standing, shall submit a contract for excellence for the 2011-2012 school year”. In addition, districts are required to reduce the C4E amounts by the “gap elimination adjustment", which for New York City is 17.53%. New York City is allowed to take this reduction from Maintenance of Effort funds established in year 1 of C4E.

See FY12 NYSED C4E amounts

General Information

Budget

School-level Budget Detail
- Please note, NYSED required a new format for FY12 school-level detail. As indicated in the FY12 SAM, NYSED allowed NYCDOE to take a portion of the 17.53% reduction from year 1 Maintenance of Effort funds. This leaves $348 million for school allocations and district-wide programs in FY12 and $182 million of year 1 MoE embedded in Fair Student Funding
