Charter School to hold lottery for neediest kids

BRONX, NEW YORK, Feb. 13- The Children’s Aid Society announced a first-of-its-kind lottery system for its new charter school in the South Bronx’s Morrisania neighborhood. The lottery system for Children’s Aid College Prep is open to all students but will emphasize particularly needy students.

“We have always focused our resources on the most vulnerable young people in New York City and our first charter school will be no different,” said The Children’s Aid Society President and CEO Richard Buery. “All children will be a part of our new school, but those who have been involved in the child welfare system or who have other challenges that can dampen academic success should be given an additional boost.”

All applicants will receive one entry in the lottery and an additional entry for each of the following categories:

·Students who come from single-parent households

·Students from households below the NY self-sufficiency standard

·Students who have not attended a full-day kindergarten

·Students who are English language learners

·Students who have been involved in the child welfare system.

For example, a student from a single-parent household and has been involved in the child welfare system will receive three entries, or chances to get in. The lottery will be held on April 9^th at 11am at The Next Generation Center at 1522 Southern Boulevard in the Bronx.

Ads in both Spanish and English will begin running today in an assortment of New York daily and weekly print outlets.

Poverty levels in Morrisania—a community where Children’s Aid has established service hubs and community schools serving more than 10,000 people over the last 10 years—exceed those of other New York City neighborhoods. Currently 57% of children in Morrisania are growing up in poverty and only 27% perform at or above grade level on standard reading tests, more than 15% lower than the City average.

The charter school is the first for Children’s Aid and will implement a community school model proven effective in improving academic performance, increasing attendance and retention, building confidence and self-esteem and addressing an extreme need for health services among poor children. Community schools differ from other schools because they provide comprehensive services for children, including medical, dental, and mental health services, after-school programming, summer camps and family support services. Children’s Aid College Prep Charter School will incorporate community school best practices with a newly designed, rigorous instructional program that puts students on a college-bound path early.

“We know that the best way to escape poverty is through a holistic approach to supporting children that includes health, social, recreational and youth development services, in addition to education. The new charter school will combine excellent instruction, quality arts, sports and enrichment programs, and effective social services for children and their families, and create a school where every child is put on the path to college,” said Buery.

The Children’s Aid College Prep Charter School will serve 120 students in Kindergarten and 1st grade and eventually approximately 300 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. The Children’s Aid Society’s deep roots in the South Bronx and its multi-site service centers in the surrounding community will enable the proposed school to provide effective youth development practices, comprehensive health care and a commitment to empowering parents, foster parents and other care-giving adults to become full partners in their children’s success.

The Children’s Aid College Prep Charter School is accepting applications for K-1 through April 2, 2012, more information at www.childrensaidcollegeprep.org. The school will open in August 2012.
