Dear Principals Wyns-Madison and Robertson,
‘This letter is to confirm that the PS 15 Patrick F. Daly School and PAVE Academy Charter
School will continue to temporarily share space in the KO15 building located at 71 Sullivan
Streot.
Based on the current space availability, demand for the services of PAVE Academy and PS 15,
and other community feedback, the Department of Education has determined that both schools
will be able to continue to implement their academic programs successfully in the building,
PAVE Academy Charter School, with the assistance of elected and community leaders, is in
the process of securing a private facility in order to grow to scale and serve its full complement
of grades. In the interim, the Patrick F. Daly School and PAVE Academy Charter School will
continue to co-locate dependent upon the student enrollment of the Patrick F. Daly School and
as space permits per the Instructional Footprint,
‘The Director of Space and Facilities Planning, Mr. Charles Fisher (efisher4@schools.nyc.gov)
will work with the K015 building council to determine the rooms that will be allocated to
PAVE for the 2010-2011 school year. Mr. Fisher is responsible for the allocation of rooms to
both schools, However, if you prefer to work together to create a plan for the equitable
allocation of rooms for recommendation to Mr. Fisher, you are encouraged to do so.
The Instructional Footprint reflects the city-wide standard for space allocation in the
Department of Education buildings and is intended to serve as a guideline for making decisions
about space, while empowering building occupants to make decisions that best meet the needs
of all students in the building. If you have not received a copy of the Footprint, one can be
found on the Department of Education’s website in the Key Documents section on the Campus
Management webpage: http://schools nye. gov/community/facilities/campuses/default. him.
Ifyou have any questions regarding space planning please reach out to Mr. Fisher. If you have
any other questions regarding this process, please feel free to reach out to Courtney McNally at
cy lv2@schools.nys.gov.
