Planning Interview Information Packet
Overview
You have received this packet because you may soon be discharged from a New York City
public school prior to receiving your diploma. This document will help you to:
1)
Know your rights as a student; and
2)
Know your educational options before you decide to leave school; and
3)
Know who can help you figure out your options and make a plan.
Know Your Rights
The Department of Education encourages students to remain in or re-enroll in school and
will support all students in their efforts to earn a high school diploma. This section contains
important information about student rights, which you should read carefully.
General Information about Your Right to Attend School:
If you reside in New York City, are under 21 years of age, and have not received a high
school diploma:
You are entitled to attend a full-time high school or high school program run by the
New York City Department of Education until the end of the school year in which you
turn 21; and
You have the right to re-enroll in high school at any time; and
You may not be involuntarily transferred from a high school to a part-time education
program, such as a GED program, or any alternative program that does not provide
the opportunity to earn credits toward a high school diploma.
Moreover, you have these rights even if you:
voluntarily dropped out; or
are currently enrolled in a GED program; or
already have a GED or IEP diploma; or
were in an involuntary setting, such as a correctional facility or substance abuse
program; or
have been subject to discipline by your school; or
were referred to alternative educational options, such as a GED or vocational
program.
Each school year officially begins on July 1. If you are enrolled in school and you turn 21 on
or after July 1, you are entitled to remain in school until the end of that school year. If you
turn 17 on or after July 1, you are legally required to remain in school until the end of that
school year.
If you are 21 years of age or younger:
You have the right to receive notice of a suspension or involuntary transfer and an
opportunity for a hearing or conference before being suspended or transferred to
another school. For a complete description of your rights and the applicable
procedures, please refer to Chancellor’s Regulations A-240, A-443 and A-450.
Copies of the Chancellor’s Regulations are available at your school and on the
internet at:
http://schools.nyc.gov/RulesPolicies/ChancellorsRegulations/default.htm

Planning Interview Information Packet
If you are 21 years of age or younger (continued):
You may not be barred from attending classes due to age, lack of credits, poor
grades, truancy, irregular attendance, or failure to pass Regents or RCT
examinations.
If you are transferring to a GED program or another school you have the right to
attend your current school until registered or enrolled at the new school or program.
Information about Your Right to Educational Services:
Every student who has been determined to be an English Language Learner is
entitled to English as a Second Language classes.
You may also be able to receive
bilingual education. Ask your guidance counselor for more information.
If you are having difficulty in school, you may be eligible to receive special instruction
and/or services to help you stay in school and succeed. Such services and instruction
include academic intervention services, student support services, guidance services
and/or educationally related support services. Ask your guidance counselor to tell
you about such services.
Every parent has the right to make a referral, at any time, for an evaluation to
determine whether the student has a disability and needs special education
services. A written referral for evaluation may be made by a parent to the
principal of the public school the student attends (or is eligible to attend), or to
the Chairperson of the Committee on Special Education Office. If a parent
makes an oral request for evaluation to a professional member of the school
staff, the school professional must promptly assist the parent in making a
written request. A student who is 18 years of age or older, or an emancipated
minor, may make a written request that the school refer him/her for an initial
evaluation however it is the principal of the school who will determine if the
referral is initiated). Contact information for the Committees on Special
Education may be found by clicking onto the following link:
http://schools.nyc.gov/Academics/SpecialEducation/Committees/default.htm
Information for Students with Disabilities:
You are entitled to receive a free appropriate public education until you receive a
high school diploma or finish the school year in which you turn 21, whichever comes
first.
If you are not attending school or are considering leaving school because of a
problem with your IEP, or the educational services you are receiving, you can request
a meeting to review your IEP.
At the meeting, you can discuss the special education services you have been
receiving or additional or different services that may be recommended to assist you
in school.
If you want to request an IEP meeting, contact your school.
Your school should work with you to help address academic, behavioral and other
issues that are affecting your school participation.

Planning Interview Information Packet
Know Your Options and How to Access Your School Options
If you have questions or want to speak with someone who can help you make a choice about
your options, you can speak with your guidance counselor at your current school, or you can
visit a Referral Center for High School Alternatives (see page 6), where an experienced NYC
public school counselor can explain anything you do not understand.
Here are your options:
1. Traditional High School
Traditional high school includes large comprehensive high schools, small learning
community schools, and new small schools.
Traditional High
School
Visit a Borough Enrollment Office to register for high school.
See page 6 for contact information.
2. Transfer High Schools
Transfer Schools are small, academically rigorous, full-time high schools designed to
re-engage and support students who have dropped out or who have fallen behind
and now have fewer credits than they should for their age and grade.
Transfer Schools offer a personalized learning environment, rigorous academic
standards, student-centered pedagogy, support to meet instructional and
developmental goals, and a focus on connections to college. Transfer school
students graduate with a regular HS diploma.
Students who have been enrolled in high school for at least one year and choose to
make a change are eligible to apply to Transfer Schools. Admission criteria vary from
Transfer School to Transfer School. Interested students are encouraged to apply
directly to their school of interest.
Transfer High
School
Contact Transfer Schools directly to set up an intake interview or to learn
more about the school. Additionally, Referral Centers for High School
Alternatives in each borough can offer referral and application assistance
for Transfer Schools.
See page 6 for Referral Centers. Learn more at www.goingforme.org

3. Young Adult Borough Centers
Young Adult Borough Centers (YABC) are late afternoon/evening academic programs
designed to serve older students who are in their fifth year (or more) of high school
and have a minimum of 17 credits. These students might be considering dropping
out because they are behind or have adult responsibilities that make attending
school in the daytime difficult. Students graduate with a diploma from their home
school after they have earned all of their credits and passed all of the required
exams while attending the YABC. Attendance is strictly monitored and documented by
the YABC, though students who are registered in a YABC remain assigned, for all
accountability measures, to their sending school.
To be eligible, students must:
Be at least 17.5 years old.
Have completed the school year in which they turned 17.
Be enrolled or become enrolled in a NYC high school.
Have earned a minimum of 17 credits.
Have begun the 9 grade at least four complete school years before applying to
the YABC. (For school year 2011-12, an eligible student must have first enrolled
in 9 grade in school year 2007-08 or before.)
YABC
(Young Adult
Borough Centers)
A student who wishes to enroll in a YABC should go to his/her current high
school, meet with a school counselor, and obtain the following:
1)
YABC Guidance Referral Form Y-1
2)
YABC Course Requirements Form Y-2
3)
A copy of his/her transcript
4)
His/her immunization records
The first two documents should be completed with a guidance counselor,
and all the completed documents should be brought to the YABC that the
student wants to attend between the hours of 4:00 – 7:00 p.m., Mondays
through Thursdays.
Eligible students who are not currently enrolled in high school must go to a
Borough Enrollment Office to be enrolled in a high school.
For questions, concerns, or to make an appointment, please contact the
YABC AP Supervisor at the site. YABC AP supervisors are generally
available by telephone after 1pm.
See page 7-18 for YABCs in each borough. Learn more at www.goingforme.org

4. GED Plus and ACCESS GED
There are two city wide programs that offer preparation for a General Equivalency
Diploma (GED) through the NYC Department of Education: GED Plus and ACCESS
GED.
GED Plus is a citywide program that provides full-time and part-time GED services as
well as support in transitioning to a college and/or career at no cost to students in
New York City who are aged 18-21. GED Plus also offers Pre-GED and Literacy
programs.
ACCESS GED is a full-day GED preparation with Learning to Work (LTW) which helps
students stay engaged, or re-engage, in school through work readiness (see below).
ACCESS also offers a Pre-GED program. Age requirements are the same as GED
Plus.
As outlined above, there are minimum age requirements to enroll in a GED Program.
However, there are no grade level or 8 grade diploma requirements for GED
programs. Students who are 17 may enroll (full-time) in GED Plus or ACCESS if there
are extenuating circumstances and with parent/guardian permission.
GED students graduate when they pass the GED exam. The GED examination is a
battery of five tests: Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Language Arts
Reading
,
and Language Arts
Writing
. The tests take more than 7 hours to complete and
include a direct writing assessment. The GED examination is administered in English,
Spanish and French.
GED
Students may take steps to enroll in a GED program through any one of the
following:
1)
Visit a
Referral Center for High School Alternatives
for help in
choosing the right option for you and/or selecting a GED program;
2)
Speak to your guidance counselor;
3)
Contact an ACCESS GED program directly to schedule an intake
interview.
See page 6 for Referral Centers in each borough. Learn more at www.goingforme.org
Learning to Work Programs
Learning to Work (LTW) is an in-depth student support, job readiness, and career
exploration program designed to enhance the academic component of select
Transfer Schools, YABCs, and GED programs. LTW assists students in overcoming
obstacles that impede their progress toward a high school diploma. LTW offers
academic and student support, career and educational exploration, work
preparation, skills development, and internships that prepare students for rewarding
employment and educational experiences after graduation.
LTW is not a separate program. Rather, it is an integral component of the academic
program at each participating Transfer School, YABC or GED site.
