The 33 Documents

What DYCD must release.

Until these documents are public, DYCD — not parents — owns the incomplete citywide picture of the 2026 afterschool rebid.

What the public record currently supports: 25 school sites where a recent incumbent can be matched to a 2026 nonrenewal or replacement, and 12 of those with explicit public opposition. See the school tracker.

The list below is what would be needed to certify the picture citywide. Until DYCD releases it, every parent claim is a floor, not a ceiling.

File the official transparency / FOIL request to DYCD now — pre-written, opens in your own email, CCs Comptroller and Council oversight chairs.

  1. 01

    Complete incumbent-to-awardee crosswalk, school by school

    Not released

    Without this, no one outside DYCD can confirm who was displaced where. Every other claim depends on it.

  2. 02

    Principal ranking forms for every COMPASS/SONYC site

    Not released

    Principals were permitted to express preferences. DYCD has not shown which schools ranked the incumbent first.

  3. 03

    School-by-school override memos or award-justification records

    Not released

    When the awardee differs from the principal's ranking, the public record needs the written rationale.

  4. 04

    Incumbent and awardee evaluation scores by category

    Not released

    PPB rules require competitive scoring. Categories, weights, and totals must be publicly inspectable.

  5. 05

    The precise definition, weight, and application of 'provider diversity'

    Not released

    DYCD's defense relied on this concept. The public has not seen how it was operationalized.

  6. 06

    Every vendor protest, debrief request, decision, and appeal

    Not released

    Procurement integrity is verifiable only when challenge outcomes are public.

  7. 07

    Old and new seat allocations and per-site funding amounts

    Not released

    Continuity of service depends on whether seats and dollars actually transfer.

  8. 08

    Licensing and registration status of each 2026 awardee

    Not released

    Some awardees are smaller orgs. Capacity to run a city-funded program at scale must be documented before September.

  9. 09

    Staff-retention and transition plans, by site

    Not released

    Adult continuity is the difference between a program and a placeholder. Families need named transition leads.

  10. 10

    School-partnership agreements between awardees and principals

    Not released

    DOE and DYCD share these buildings. Written agreements show whether the school actually consented.

  11. 11

    Disability-access plans for IEP/504 students at every site

    Not released

    Access is a federal civil-rights obligation, not an add-on. Plans must exist before transition, not after a complaint.

  12. 12

    Parent-communication and late-pickup plans for the August/September transition

    Not released

    Working families need notice in writing, in their language, before the first day.

  13. 13

    Full RFP scoring rubric and the final scoring decisions for every applicant

    Not released

    A six-year, hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars award cannot be audited from a press statement.

  14. 14

    Evaluator qualifications and panel-selection procedure

    Not released

    Who scored these proposals, what youth-development or school experience they had, and how DYCD chose them.

  15. 15

    Evaluator training, written instructions, and conflict-of-interest disclosures

    Not released

    Including how reviewers were told to treat prior site-specific performance and whether incumbent experience was treated as bias.

  16. 16

    Inter-rater reliability / scoring-variance analysis

    Not released

    Were substantially similar proposals scored differently by different readers? Without variance analysis, the rubric is unverifiable.

  17. 17

    Site-level parent/provider survey instruments, response counts, and how results were scored

    Not released

    If parent or provider feedback shaped scoring, the public needs the instrument, the response rate, and the scoring methodology.

  18. 18

    RFP / contract language on subcontracting (reported ~30% cap)

    Not released

    If awardees may subcontract a large share of programming, the public needs to see the rule and ask why a functioning integrated provider was removed at all.

  19. 19

    Attachment 02 — Basis for Contract Award and Evaluation Procedures

    Not released

    This is the document that may explain how principal preference and provider diversity were actually used. The public deck does not show those as scored line items.

  20. 20

    Attachment 05 — Eligible Schools

    Not released

    The list of schools each provider was eligible to apply for. Without it, the public cannot reconstruct who could have competed for each site.

  21. 21

    Attachment 06 — Funding by Competition

    Not released

    Per-competition funding lines that explain how slots and dollars were allocated before negotiation. This is the document that would settle prior/new slot disputes site by site.

  22. 22

    Register of Proposals (open for public inspection after award per PPB rules)

    Not released

    PPB rules require this register be available for public inspection after award. The public has not been given it.

  23. 23

    Approval and procedures for any randomized evaluator pool, plus proposal-to-evaluator assignment records

    Not released

    PPB rules permit randomized assignment for high-volume evaluations but require documented approval and a record of who scored what.

  24. 24

    Signed and dated original and amended rating sheets for every proposal

    Not released

    PPB rules require preservation of signed/dated rating sheets, original and amended. These are the underlying scoring documents.

  25. 25

    Technical-score summaries by proposal and competition

    Not released

    Aggregate technical scores per competition allow side-by-side comparison of how the same provider was scored at different sites.

  26. 26

    School-CBO Partnership Profile answers

    Not released

    The proposal section where applicants described their relationship with each school. Critical for understanding what providers represented about school fit.

  27. 27

    Recommendation for Award records for each contested site

    Not released

    Should contain the procurement method, the award basis, and a summary of the procurement record. Required by PPB rules.

  28. 28

    Price and cost comparisons across competing proposals

    Not released

    Cost was 5 points of the rubric; without the price comparison there is no way to verify how it was applied.

  29. 29

    Prior-performance assessments and audits considered for incumbents

    Not released

    Attendance rates, audit findings, and prior-performance assessments that DYCD weighed (or did not weigh) for displaced incumbents.

  30. 30

    Vendor responsibility determinations for each awardee

    Not released

    PPB requires a responsibility determination before award. The determinations and any associated documentation should be on file.

  31. 31

    Final workscope and budget for each individual school award

    Not released

    Multi-school competitions submitted only one budget narrative. Per-school final workscopes are where actual programming and dollars are nailed down.

  32. 32

    Records identifying the 12 schools with no awarded provider, their interim status, and licensing/contingency plans

    Not released

    DYCD acknowledged 12 schools still had no awarded provider. The public should know which 12, what is planned, and what happens if licensing is not complete by fall.

  33. 33

    Contract-registration packages and registration status per award (Checkbook NYC / PASSPort)

    Not released

    Selected for award is not registered. Until each award has a registration record on file, the public cannot tell which contracts are actually in effect.
