The Learning Support Organizations (LSOs) are led and operated by four of the Department of Education's most accomplished regional leaders. The LSO leaders—Kathleen Cashin, Judith Chin, Elaine Goldberg, and Laura Rodriguez—developed support options to schools across the City.

The LSO leaders are building on long and distinguished records of success as teachers, principals, and school system leaders to provide packages of support around specific themes. These packages incorporate best practices from around the City. Their teams include many experienced professionals from the former regional and central offices.

Each LSO includes distinctive support offerings, focusing on areas including instruction, programming, scheduling, youth development, and professional development. LSO packages are available to schools across the city without regard for regional boundaries and service packages are differentiated to meet the unique needs of a broad variety of schools.
