Townsend Harris High School
What the school’s public leadership record says about decisions close to students. Part of New York City Geographic District #25.
Who makes school-level decisions?
Townsend Harris is a New York City public high school governed by NYC Public Schools. Its School Leadership Team brings school administrators, staff, families and students into public school-level planning conversations.
System governance
NYC Public Schools and Geographic District 25 govern the school; districtwide budget and staffing decisions are not the same as SLT decisions.
School-level forum
The SLT publishes minutes that record discussion of school programming, class-size planning, the CEP and family concerns.
Public record
Nine 2025-26 SLT minutes were available from September through May; the site did not show a June 2026 minute.
SLT minutes show discussion and recommendations. They do not by themselves establish that a district proposal was funded or carried out.
