A presenter for the Schenectady City School District opened the public hearing for William C. Kaye Elementary School, saying "this is the public hearing for William C. Kaye Elementary School. Um this is a state required process" to review the school's status in receiverhip.
The presenter traced the school's accountability history, saying the school was identified among New York State's lowest-performing schools nearly eight years ago and that the district has had to demonstrate "demonstrable progress" within designated windows. "We did submit an appeal to the state where we were granted that appeal to say that we believed we met all of our logical progress indicators that year," the presenter said about 2024
25. The presenter added that the school must show progress two consecutive years to exit receiverhip.
The presenter reported that the school missed one assigned indicator in 2025
26 "by 9/10en of a point" and that the district is "currently awaiting state release for data that's currently embargoed" from the most recent testing. The presentation emphasized that some measures (proficiency, performance index, and growth measures) are calculated differently and that some growth metrics are not yet public.
Next steps the presenter outlined included continued monitoring, implementation of the continuation plan that targets instructional shifts and attendance improvements, and follow-up once the state releases the embargoed growth data.
