The New York City Department of Education is committed to working collaboratively with parents, educators, school communities, and external stakeholders to improve student achievement and ensure that every child graduates from high school prepared for college, a career, and a future as a productive, critically thinking adult.

In 2015, the NYC Department of Education launched Strong Schools, Strong Communities - a bold initiative to bring parity to the support NYC public schools receive as they strive to continually improve student life outcomes. Field Support teams partner with Superintendents and central divisions to further the chancellor's vision as outlined in The Framework for Great Schools. As part of the Strong Schools, Strong Communities approach, the Office of Field Support and Field Support Centers were created to provide principals with coordinated, strategic support, resources, and guidance. Each of the Field Support Centers provide high-quality, differentiated support in Teaching & Learning, Business Services, Operations, Student services (safety, health, and wellness), English Language Learners and Special Education.
