Celebrating 50 Years August 2020 DOE Outdoor Learning Survey for Principals On Monday, Mayor de Blasio and Chancellor Carranza  announced permission for schools to include outdoor  learning in their reopening plans. Outdoor learning is optional and allows the use of  outdoor space for classes, especially those that require  additional spacing per public health guidance. Outdoor space can include on-site school yards,  public parks, adjacent streets, and previously approved  Play Streets. Schools in the 27 neighborhoods most impacted by  COVID and schools with no outdoor space on-site will  receive priority. Representatives from DOT, NYPD, DSNY, FDNY,  Parks, and the DOE will oversee the approval process. The Department of Education sent a survey to all  principals to collect information on outdoor learning  needs for the upcoming school year. Surveys are due on Friday, August 28th in order to  receive a response by Friday, September 4th. Surveys  submitted after the 28th will be considered on a rolling  basis. If your school is considering outdoor learning and  needs additional help with planning, please know  we are here as a resource. Every NYC school voice counts!
