Development and External Affairs

The SCA External Affairs department is the connection between the SCA and community members who are affected by our work building and maintaining public schools. External Affairs staff meet regularly with parents, Principals, UFT, CECs, School District superintendents, Community Boards, elected officials, and neighborhood groups, to share ideas and concerns and update residents.
