--Hold a public meeting in each community district every two years, in conjunction with the community district education council, to report on the city district's public school finances, student performance, and educational goals and priorities, and to receive and respond to public comments. Specifies the community superintendent must provide public notice of such meeting to maximize the participation of parents, students and all other interested parties.

Provides a school based management team must provide the community superintendent with an annual assessment of the principal's record of developing an effective shared decision-making relationship with school based management team members.
Existing policy directs the chancellor to develop a procurement policy for the city district. New provisions require the policy to include specific elements, among which are a competitive sealed bidding process, and processes for awarding contracts using alternatives when a competitive sealed bidding process would be impractical or not advantageous, or other circumstances apply. Requires the chancellor to certify that procedural requisites have been met before the filing of any contract awarded by a procurement method other than competitive sealed bidding, or prior to filing specified contracts, franchise, revokable consent or consession with the New York City comptroller. Establishes additional parameters and procedures regarding the filing and registration of contracts and agreements. Authorizes the city comptroller to object in writing to the registration of a contract or agreement that the comptroller believes there is possible corruption in the letting of such contract or agreement, or that the proposed contractor is involved in corrupt activity. http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=A08903&sh=t
