Email us →What to include
The faster we can verify your information, the faster it can become useful for the public record, press, Comptroller review, disability access, or legal strategy.
| If you are sending | Please include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Parent or caregiver concern | School, current provider, awarded provider if known, child’s grade, what changed, what you need. | Helps us connect your story to the correct school/provider record. |
| Disability access issue | IEP/504 status if you are comfortable sharing, access concern, dates, emails, what accommodation or transition support is needed. | Helps distinguish general transition concerns from formal access barriers. |
| Worker impact | Site, role, provider, whether staff are being retained, job impact, program impact, whether your name can be used. | Shows whether “provider change” is causing real staff and student continuity harm. |
| Document or tip | Screenshot/PDF/photo, source, date, school/provider, what the document shows, confidentiality needs. | Documents are stronger when we know where they came from and what they prove. |
| Press request | Outlet, deadline, topic, quote/interview needs, contact information. | Lets us respond quickly when reporters are on deadline. |
Do not email sensitive child records unless necessary.
Please do not send full IEPs, medical records, Social Security numbers, or private student details unless we specifically ask and you are comfortable. For disability issues, a short description of the access barrier is usually enough to start.
Rather use a form?
Forms are better when you want to submit a structured impact statement or intake.
Parent impact form
Share what is happening at your school and what your family stands to lose.
Worker impact form
Share what you are seeing on the ground and how provider changes affect staff and students.
Media contact form
For reporters on deadline who need background, records, quotes, or interviews.
Legal intake
If you are considering joining legal action or have facts relevant to Article 78 or disability access.
Comptroller letter
Ask the Comptroller to require the full record before registering disputed contracts.
Add my school
If your school is affected but missing or incomplete in the tracker, submit school information.
