Summary

This bill would require the Chancellor of the City School District to publish on the Department of Education (DOE) website, DOE’s policies and procedures to approve an algorithmic tool for use by DOE. The bill would also require the Chancellor to publish an annual report on the algorithmic tools that the Chancellor has approved for use by DOE. This report would include the name of each algorithmic tool; a description and purpose of the tool; any use restrictions, including whether and under what circumstances students may use the tool; whether the tool is cloud-based and has been assessed for bias, accuracy, and compliance with privacy laws; the total cost of the tool; and the extent of DOE’s adoption of the tool. The report would also include data on student use and funding received by schools and pre-K programs for these tools in the most recent academic year. The Chancellor would be required to submit the report to the Mayor and Speaker of the Council, and publish the report online.
