School overview
P.S. 003 The Bedford Village
What the school’s official plan and NYCPS allocation records say about governance, priorities, and funding. Part of NYC Geographic District 13.
How are P.S. 3’s priorities set?
P.S. 003 The Bedford Village is governed by New York City Public Schools in District 13. Its Comprehensive Educational Plan says the School Leadership Team develops the school’s goals and aligns the school-based budget with them. The plan identifies the principal, parents, staff, and community representatives who participate in this planning, while NYCPS separately publishes school-level budget records.
School Leadership Team
The 2025-26 plan names the principal, Parent Association president, SLT chair, staff, and other representatives. It describes the SLT as responsible for participation in planning and alignment of the school-based budget with the educational program.
Literacy work
The plan set a June 2026 target to reduce the share of K-2 students below grade level on the Acadience end-of-year assessment from 55 percent to 35 percent, using data reviews, small groups, and literacy training.
Funding basis
The 2025-26 budget snapshot lists $4.66 million in school funding for 131 reported K-5 students. It says central services such as facilities, transportation, food service, and some administration are funded outside that school budget.
Current allocation
The FY2027 Galaxy table lists a $6.87 million allocation as of August 23, 2026, including early-childhood, class-size-reduction, Fair Student Funding, Title I, related services, and Summer Rising categories.
The plan records goals and intended actions, not confirmed final outcomes. It also does not establish whether every planned item was completed.
