The placards will become effective on November 1 of each year and are specific to the building's authorized on-street parking spaces (marked by signs that read No Parking School Days 7AM to 4 PM Department of Education) and cannot be used for travel between schools and other DOE facilities.
The placards will be delivered to the Custodial Engineers, who in turn will deliver them to the principal(s).
Each school principal can retain one placard for his/her exclusive use with the remainder pooled and issued daily on a first-come, first-served basis to all school employees. If a parking space is available, a staff member will park, retrieve a placard from the front office and place it in his/her vehicle. At the end of the school day, the placard will be returned to the office for the next day's use.
With regard to off-street parking spaces (i.e., parking lot spaces), it is the responsibility of the principal(s) to determine the appropriate number available on the grounds of their building and to design a suitable placard for use in these spaces. The first-come, first-served approach will apply to the off-street spaces as well. If a principal does not require an on-street or off-street placard, it must become part of the general pool and cannot be assigned to another individual.
Parking staff vehicles in off-street locations cannot interfere with the maintenance and operation of the schools, including the need to provide physical fitness activities and recreation for our students.
For schools in campus settings, proportional allocations are based on enrollment.
The “DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION” portion of the signage confirms that the spaces are DOT authorized parking for DOE employees.
These signs show that permitted DOE employees may park here only during school days for the times listed - note that the NO STANDING and NO PARKING rules do NOT apply to authorized parking spaces.
The illustrations below are only some examples of street signage. Signage may vary at each school building. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to obey all parking signage at all times. The DOE will not be responsible for any summons issued.

The “No Parking School Days” sign is not an authorized parking sign, nor does it allow staff members to park at these locations. These signs are for school buses that are dropping off and picking-up students.
As per city policy, the number of parking spaces and locations were capped citywide in 2009; no new parking spaces were to be installed for any faculty at any public, charter, or non-public school. In addition, the spaces allocated to closed or relocated schools are non-transferable. Those parking spaces would not move with the school, nor would the new school moving in to the building inherit them.
Charter schools in buildings with DOE designated parking spaces have received permits in proportion to their enrollment and the total number of available spaces. They will continue to receive the same number of permits usable on a first come, first served basis.
