RCSD will hold final meeting about schools in receivership on Thursday

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester City School District is holding its final meeting on Thursday to give the public a chance to learn about schools in receivership. It’s taking place at the John James Audubon School No. 33.

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

The meeting at the John James Audubon School begins at 4:30 p.m.
