I'm biased but I haven't read better coverage tonight about the resignation of NYC's schools chancellor than in @ChalkbeatNY from @AGZimmerman, @MichaelElsenRoo and @julianshenberro.

The resignation: https://t.co/Y9S6vPtKKB

And who's taking the spot: https://t.co/8ORO7CVvdH

Excellent piece on how 3 schools combat chronic absenteeism. Our colleague @kimnauer says, “Every single one of those numbers needs to be a kid & a name & a parent & a person attached to them... robocalls [are] useless.” @CenterNYC @TheNewSchool https://t.co/ooAyZOjbGb

NYC public High School admissions: On your application, rank your 12 high schools in TRUE preference order. Don't try to second-guess the system! Even if your favorite is a long-shot, put it first! #NYChighschools @NYCHSAdmissions

[InsideSchools @Insideschools]

NYC public HS admissions! The City is giving you the option of selecting MORE than 12 programs this year!
But, apply to 12 schools, at least, because it gives you 95% chance of getting a school on your application. #NYChighschools @NYCHSAdmissions

Re: Lottery #'s for #NYCPublicHighSchool admissions: It's a long string of digits & basically serves as a tie breaker. The strongest #'s start with low numbers 0, 1, 2, 3 -- but there are ways to work with poor lottery numbers, says @NYCHSAdmissions

[InsideSchools @Insideschools]

NYC public high school families: You need to apply to a range of #NYChighschools. In your 12 choices, you need to be in the top priority group for some high schools on your list. Priority may be where you live & more. @NYCHSAdmissions

[InsideSchools @Insideschools]

NYC high school families! Keep your 👁👁's on MySchools-- it will likely refresh with updated information by Oct. 1, when the NYC high school application opens. #NYChighschools @NYCHSAdmissions

Students with an IEP might qualify for the Students With Disabilities applicant pool. Also, some schools have Diversity in Admissions 👉 this means they set aside a % of their seats for a particular category, such as low-income families. #NYChighschool @NYCHSAdmissions

[InsideSchools @Insideschools]

NYC public HS admissions 👉 Some #NYChighschools have more than one program within the school. You can apply to one or more! @NYCHSAdmissions

[InsideSchools @Insideschools]

Remember 👉 You can search high schools on MySchools NOW, before you get log in access Oct. 1. Look for "Browse the school directory" at the bottom of the MySchools website. #NYCschools #NYChighschooladmissions @NYCHSAdmissions

NYC public HS admissions! @NYCHSAdmissions assures parents there is no first-come, first-served on MySchools, the #NYCpublicschool directory and main application. No advantage to applying before the deadline. #NYChighschools

Next up, Performance Based Assessment or "consortium" schools! In these 30 high schools teens are exempt from taking all but the English Regents exams. Instead, they do big in-depth projects & an oral presentation. #NYChighschools
