Chair Lee on New Visions portal interagency usage
Lee asks about other agencies using the New Visions portal. Officials confirm ACS, DYCD, DHS, CUNY, and community school CBOs use the tool, with 1,542 schools logged on, 18,500 monthly users, and 4,600 users relying on it multiple times per week.
I want to turn over to the New Visions portal.
This is a small contract, but it was asked about before.
And I think you had testified that not many schools are using it, or only some people in the schools are using it.
We were told 99% of schools used the New Vision portals this year.
I don't think I said not a lot of schools.
Okay.
I would more say it's used as more an administrative tool.
A lot of schools do use the New Vision portal, but maybe not a lot of people in the schools are using it.
So not necessarily a lot of teachers, but it is a widely used tool.
It's a very popular tool from my perspective for the purpose that it serves.
And we are continuing to talk to both our, and I think the opportunity that we see within the tool is also
across agency, which we haven't necessarily bolstered yet, but that's an opportunity that we're thinking about.
And we're continuing to talk to our partners at New Visions about, you know, what are the options going forward and possibilities for not.
Disrupting the service.
Do you know how many schools are using the New Visions portal, even if it's the administration, how many schools are using it?
So we've seen a logon, at least a logon for over 1,500 schools within the system.
