Can school groups apply for funding for a public school?
Yes, school groups may ask for funding for a NYC Public School. We require that the Principal approve of the request. It is easiest if a Principal makes the funding request as it may be allocated through the Dept. of Education directly. A PTA can apply for funding but it would be allocated through DYCD and there is much more paperwork. Who do I contact with questions relating to the budget process? Please feel free to reach out to Melanie La Rocca or Kate Seely-Kirk in the Speaker’s District Office with your questions. The district main phone number is 212-564-7757.
