Who makes school-level decisions?

A school-level SLT publishes some, but not all, of its records

High School for Environmental Studies is a NYC public high school in Geographic District 2. Its School Leadership Team includes school community representatives and posts minutes, while NYCPS makes district-wide decisions. The available minutes show the SLT following attendance, learning, family engagement, and day-to-day school operations.

School-level forum

The SLT is the public school-level body represented in the collected record; its official page says it meets monthly in hybrid format.

Six published minutes

The active archive has minutes from September 2025 through February 2026, covering school goals and principal updates.

District governance

The school is part of New York City Geographic District # 2, NCES LEA 3600077; the school page does not establish that the district board discussed this individual school.

The public archive does not reach the full trailing year and the school communications page names weekly principal newsletters without linking a durable archive. This record cannot establish what happened in the missing months.
