Regulations of the New York City Chancellor

The regulations of the Chancellor of the New York City Department of Education govern every aspect of school operation in New York City and sometimes, but not always, are drafted to ensure compliance with other State and Federal laws. Some individual regulations are over 100 pages long. And there are dozens and dozens of individual regulations, governing everything from attendance programs to school trip permission forms to employment certificates to suspension procedures. Here's the index taken from the Department of Education website, which can be found here. Be careful, some of the PDFs are very large.
