The New York City School Construction Authority (SCA) manages the design, construction and renovation of school facilities in New York City.[1]

The Authority is overseen by a three-member Board of Trustees appointed by the Mayor.[1] Two of the current SCA trustees are Lorraine Grillo and Peter McCree. The third member is the Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, David C Banks.

History

The School Construction Authority was created in 1988 as a New York State public-benefit corporation by the New York State Legislature, which removed control of capital projects from the city's Board of Education in an effort to end corruption.[2][3] The School Construction Authority manages the Department of Education's Capital Plan and is solely accountable for planning, real estate, and budgeting, as well as the scoping, design and construction of new schools and additions, as well as capital improvements to existing schools.[4]
