Preschool Variance Procedures

Beginning August 1, 2023, paper copies of variances will no longer be accepted.

In the event that the variance to over-enroll the classroom is no longer needed, the approved preschool program must inform OSE that the impacted classroom no longer exceeds its approved student-to-staff ratio.听 To do so, email preschoolvariance@nysed.gov with the date this variance was submitted and the identifying label created to reference this application.
