Educational Impact Statement

I. Description of the subject and purpose of the proposed item under consideration.

In the 2010-2011 school year, University Heights Secondary School (10X495, UHSS),

an existing school that serves students in grades 9-12, will move from its current location in

Community School District 10 (District 10) to the South Bronx High School Campus(X470), located at 701 St. Anns Avenue, Bronx in Community School District 7 (District 7).

UHSS is currently housed in space on the City University of New Yorks (CUNY) Bronx

Community College campus in school building X810, located at 181st Street & University

Avenue in District 10. Due to increasing enrollment at Bronx Community College, there is nolonger sufficient space for UHSS to remain on the campus. CUNY will use the space vacated by

UHSS to serve Bronx Community College students.

X470 is an existing facility with a target capacity of 1,073. It currently houses New

Explorers High School (07X547, New Explorers), Urban Assembly Careers in Sports

(07X548, UA Careers in Sports), and Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School (07X473,

Mott Haven Prep). Before the start of the 2010-2011 school year, New Explorers, an existinghigh school serving grades 9-12, and UA Careers in Sports, an existing high school serving

grades 9-12, will move from X470 to a newly constructed building, Mott Haven Campus West

(X790) . The move of New Explorers and UA Careers in Sports from X470 will provide thespace for UHSS to move to X470. UHSS will be co-located with Mott Haven Prep in X470.

The 2008-2009 target utilization rate of X470 was 81%. X470 has sufficient space for

UHSS and Mott Haven Prep to operate at full organizational capacity.
