Q&A

Dinowitz asks DOE to add Seal to MySchools website

New York City Council · Oct 20, 2026 · starts 1:29:18 · 1 min 22 sec

Dinowitz asks DOE to work with the website division so the Seal appears on MySchools for parents and students. Veve agrees to work with the relevant department.

Eric Dinowitz

And so that's a different department?

Eric Dinowitz

I'm understanding.

Cordelia Veve

I think you were mentioning like ATS, OASIS, and then the we don't manage the webpage for school enrollment.

Eric Dinowitz

All right, but you have the data.

Eric Dinowitz

Will you also commit to working with the website division?

Cordelia Veve

Yes, absolutely.

Eric Dinowitz

What division is that, the website people?

Jenna Ryle

I'm not sure.

Jenna Ryle

Yeah.

Jenna Ryle

So we do share the list each year with, and I'll follow up to figure out where it's going, but I was under the impression that the list of SEAL schools was in a place that students could see it when they were looking at it.

Eric Dinowitz

Oh, I mean, I think the point is when you're

Eric Dinowitz

Unless I'm missing it.

Eric Dinowitz

I don't see it here.

Cordelia Veve

I don't think it's on my schools.

Cordelia Veve

Right, my schools.

Cordelia Veve

Is that what you're on?

Eric Dinowitz

Yeah, that's the search.

Eric Dinowitz

Yeah, that's how a parent looks.

Cordelia Veve

So I think what we might do is it might appear on the NYCPS website and as a list, but not in my school.

Cordelia Veve

So I understand the question.

Eric Dinowitz

So can you commit to working with a different department to ensure that the civics education, the seal of civic readiness appears on the MySchools website so that when a parent or a student is searching for a school, they know they can search for a civic school?

Cordelia Veve

Yes.

Eric Dinowitz

Okay, that was a good answer.

Eric Dinowitz

Yes is a good answer.
