Who makes school-level plans at P.S. 38?

P.S. 38’s SLT brings school staff and parent leaders together to review the school plan, budget questions, class size, and family priorities.

P.S. 38 is governed by New York City Public Schools through Geographic District 15. Its School Leadership Team records regular discussions of the Comprehensive Educational Plan, class-size planning, staffing, safety, and program spending. The public notes show both parent and school-staff participation.

The school reported reduced-class-size funding for three additional ICT classrooms and one cluster position in 2025-26.

School planning

The SLT reviewed 2025-26 goals for literacy, safety, and mathematics and discussed implementation through the school year.

The reviewed SLT notes do not include the final 2026-27 school budget, and the notes do not contain a January 2026 meeting record.
