RCSD will hold meeting about schools in receivership on Thursday

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester City School District is giving the public a chance to learn about schools in receivership and give their feedback on Thursday.

Receivership is when the state has identified a school as not meeting educational targets. Rochester has six schools in receivership. Under state law, underperforming schools are given two years to improve student performance before the state appoints someone to turn it around.

There will be a meeting at East Lower School on Thursday to discuss receivership. It begins at 6:30 p.m.

Of the fifteen schools currently in receivership, six are in the RCSD:

• Dr. David and Ruth Anderson School No. 16 
• Henry Hudson School No. 28
• John James Audubon School No. 33
• East Lower School (EPO)
• Edison Career and Technology High School
• James Monroe High School
