This is a significant change in how we educate in this city,\u201d Adams said on the steps of the education department\u2019s Manhattan headquarters, flanked by hundreds of community group staffers, students, and educators.<\/p>\n<p>The $9 million initiative, covered by federal stimulus funds, will serve 138 schools across the five boroughs, with the largest number in the Bronx, according to city officials. Schools were selected based on how many disciplinary incidents and suspensions they had last year, as well as rates of chronic absenteeism and other measures, according to the education department.<\/p>\n<p>Participating schools can choose from a wide selection of partners ranging from Life Camp, a violence-interruption organization in Jamaica, Queens, that provides \u201csafe corridors\u201d and gang intervention, to \u201cAll Access Golf,\u201d a group that gives kids \u201can entryway to the sport through education of golf fundamentals,\u201d with a particular focus on getting more Black people playing the sport, according to a vendor list.<\/p>\n<p>Another organization, 100SUITS, advertised services as varied as entrepreneurship, art therapy, and \u201cBitcoin clubs,\u201d according to the vendor list.<\/p>\n<p>Also participating is the Bronx Youth Empowerment Program, whose executive director, former City Council member Andy King, was booted from the legislative body last year over ethics charges.<\/p>\n<p>The education department encouraged the community groups to offer after-school and Saturday programs to help kids fill \u201cidle time,\u201d said Aaron Barnette, deputy director of the education department\u2019s Office of Safety and Prevention Partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately, individual schools can decide their plans with their partners, and can run programs during the school day.<\/p>\n<p>Most schools participating in Project Pivot are receiving about $60,000 for the initiative, according to education department budget documents. Of that, roughly $50,000 is earmarked for the vendor, and another $10,000 or so can cover after-school hours for education department staffers.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative aims to engage roughly 10,000 students overall, Barnette said. Schools will measure attendance, behavior incidents, and graduation rates for students participating in the program. Every student participant will also take an \u201cattitudinal survey\u201d before and after participating in the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we really hope to have take place [\u2026] is a change in the perception they have of themselves,\u201d Barnette said.<\/p>\n<p>Seventeen-year-old Adesola Ayeku, who attended Thursday\u2019s press conference, said he\u2019s benefited greatly from joining Umoja, a community organization that provides mentorship for young men, and is excited to see the program get a wider reach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were boys, but along the way we became men. We\u2019re still building so we can become kings, the best versions of ourselves,\u201d said Ayeku, a senior at Preparatory Academy for Writers in the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>And while education department officials were quick to caution that the initiative isn\u2019t just about violence, some groups will try to tackle neighborhood violence head on.<\/p>\n<p>Camara Jackson, the founder of Elite Learners, Inc., said her group will place violence interrupters and staffers who know the community outside schools, in bodegas, and in nearby parks to \u201censure a safe transition to and from schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Last school year saw a marked uptick in the number of weapons showing up at city public schools, with many students reporting that they were carrying pepper spray and tasers to stay safe on their commutes.<\/p>\n<p>The number of guns that turned up at schools also leapt last year.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Butts, a professor at CUNY\u2019s John Jay College who has studied the effectiveness of violence interruption programs, said the technique has the potential to improve behavior among some students, but said the challenge will be vetting the quality of the community organizations and training their employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an easy thing to say, and it\u2019s a different thing to actually pull it off by finding people who have the right skillset to do that and actually building those skills in people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Project Pivot is far from the city\u2019s first effort to bring community-based organizations into schools.<\/p>\n<p>The community schools program launched under former mayor Bill de Blasio funds more than 300 schools to partner with community-based organizations to provide \u201cwraparound\u201d support like mental and physical health services.<\/p>\n<p>That program received nearly $200 million in funding during the 2018-19 school year, according to the Independent Budget Office, with schools getting more than $800,000 each on average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly 140 New York City public schools will partner with a wide range of community groups that provide mentorship, counseling, and violence interruption programs, Mayor Eric Adams announced Thursday.
