Every New York City school district that doesn’t already have an integration plan in the works will be tasked with creating one, under a bill the City Council approved Thursday.
This work is already happening in certain places, such as Manhattan’s District 1 and 3 and Brooklyn’s District 15, where controversial admissions changes have shown some promise in integrating student bodies. Five other districts are developing their own diversity plans using $200,000 grants from the education department.
