Overview

  • Seats are being added in all five boroughs, with Staten Island formally included in this phase.
  • The administration says the expansion advances a goal of making 3-K "truly universal" and responds to complaints about offers far from home.
  • NYC Schools will alert families as new seats are posted, and applicants have until April 24 to revise their choices.
  • Local reporting indicates the added capacity would lift total 3-K slots to more than 40,000 citywide.
  • Staten Island’s inclusion follows its omission from the first 2-K rollout announced earlier this month.
