A state-created public authority (not a city agency) that manages all design, construction, and renovation of New York City's 1,800+ public school buildings, from new construction to boiler replacements to playground upgrades. The SCA controls whether your kid's school gets a new building, air conditioning, or even basic repairs. With the new class size law requiring smaller classes by 2028, the SCA is on the hook to build tens of thousands of new seats -- and its track record of delays and cost overruns will determine whether the law actually works.
Did You Know
The SCA was created by the State Legislature in 1988 specifically to take school construction away from the Board of Education after a corruption scandal -- it was literally born out of a decision that the school system couldn't be trusted to build its own buildings.
