How P.S. 39 makes school-level plans

P.S. 39’s School Leadership Team brings parent, teacher, union, and school-administration representatives together to discuss school goals and resource decisions.

P.S. 39 is governed by New York City Public Schools through Geographic District 15. Its SLT records regular discussion of class-size planning, instructional supports, building conditions, family engagement, and staffing.

Class size

The SLT considered class-size-reduction options and the timing and staffing consequences of a possible approval.

School investment

February minutes describe investments in classroom air conditioning, phones, furniture, and K-2 libraries.

Learning supports

The group monitored social-emotional supports, K-2 reading training, and progress monitoring.

The public minutes do not establish whether class-size-reduction funding was ultimately approved or state the final 2026-27 budget.
