A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring annual reports on afterschool programs

 

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

 

Section 1. Title 21-A of the administrative code of the city of New York is amended by adding a new chapter 35 to read as follows:

CHAPTER 35

AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM REPORTING

§ 21-1006 Annual afterschool program reporting. a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section, the term “afterschool program” means any program offered by the department or the department of youth and community development, or a provider under a contract with the department or department of youth and community development that provides supervised activities outside of school hours for students in grades kindergarten through 12.

b. Reporting. No later than 120 days after the effective date of the local law that added this section, and annually thereafter, the department, in consultation with the department of youth and community development, shall submit a report to the speaker of the council regarding all afterschool programs offered in the previous school year. The report shall include a table in which every row references a specific afterschool program that was offered in the previous school year. Each such row shall include the following information, set forth in separate columns:

1. The address where the afterschool program was located;

2. The community school district in which the afterschool was located;

3. The total available seats of the afterschool program;

4. The number of students enrolled in the afterschool program, in total and disaggregated by race, gender, and grade level; and

5. The average daily percentage of enrolled students in attendance at the afterschool program.  

c. No information that is otherwise required to be reported pursuant to this section shall be reported in a manner that would violate any applicable provision of federal, state or local law relating to the privacy of student information. If a category contains between 1 and 5 students, or allows another category to be narrowed to between 1 and 5 students, the number shall be replaced with a symbol. A category that contains zero students shall be reported as zero, unless such reporting would violate any applicable provision of federal, state or local law relating to the privacy of student information.

§ 2. This local law takes effect immediately.
