Automate The Schools (ATS) is the school-based administrative system used by all New York City public schools. It has many functions, including recording biographical data for all students, handling admissions, discharges, and transfers to other schools, and recording other student-specific data, such as exam scores, grade levels, attendance, and immunization records. It also provides aggregate student and human resources data to school administrators.[2]
Access to the ATS system is strictly limited to school system personnel; however, much of the non-personally identifiable information is available online at the New York City Department of Education website.
[edit] Galaxy
Galaxy is the budgeting system used by all New York City public schools. It allows for schools to create a budget while adhering to state and federal mandates, collective bargaining agreements, and other community and Department of Education initiatives.[3] School budgets are publicly available online.
