Are school bathrooms aligned with your gender identity? Is your school connecting your learning to the real world?These are among the new questions that New York City’s annual school survey now asks students. Middle and high school students are asked every spring, along with parents and teachers, to fill out the annual school survey. But the questions for students were too wordy and confusing, and there were too many of them, Education Department officials acknowledged. So, education officials decided to make substantial changes, shortening the number of questions to 61 from 79 the year prior and making the language more direct. The goal, officials said, is to give educators more insight into particular problems. The changes are already bearing some fruit in terms of participation: More than 357,000 of the city’s students in grades 6-12 participated in the 2026 school survey, up 3 points from last year’s student participation rate, officials said this week. To redesign the survey, the city sent a ballot of questions to school leaders and survey coordinators, garnering more than 300 responses. They held listening sessions with more than 50 school leaders, and convened more than 20 students — some of whom served on the Chancellor’s Student Advisory Committee and some who were part of a Brooklyn Summer Rising site. While some of the questions tweak language from the previous year’s survey, others are new. Because of the survey’s changes, the 2026 results can’t be compared to prior years, but will serve as a new baseline moving forward. “You may notice lower favorability scores on some items compared to prior years,” stated an explainer about the redesign. “This does not necessarily mean things got worse. It often reflects students answering more directly and precisely under the new language — not a change in classroom reality.”Here are some highlights from the survey’s new questions.How often do students in this school vape?Many students, parents, and educators will tell you: Vaping is a big problem in schools. Some schools have been figuring out ways to cut down on vaping in bathrooms, but many have been struggling with how to respond. Now the city’s survey is catching up with these concerns, adding a question about vaping. More than a third of students said vaping is common, with 19% of students saying students vape “very often,” and 16% reporting that students vape “often.” About 39% of female students reported their peers vape often or very often, compared to 32% of males. The responses varied by grade, with fewer sixth graders (19%) reporting vaping as an issue compared to the ninth graders (45%), who reported seeing the most vaping use. Curious and concerned parents can check out the responses for all questions at individual schools. For example, nearly three-quarters of the students at LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and the Performing Arts reported that students vape very often or often, compared with just 11% of students at University Neighborhood High School reporting that. How often can you use a bathroom that matches your gender identity in your school?A few years ago, the city began allowing families to list their child’s gender as “X” instead of “M” or “F” to accommodate nonbinary or gender-expansive youth. The school survey data is catching up, now asking about whether students can use school bathrooms aligning with their gender identity. Under city guidance, students are entitled to use bathrooms that match their gender identity — a policy that has come under fire from the Trump administration. At first glance, most students reported favorably to this question, with 86% saying they can use a bathroom matching their gender identity “always” or “most of the time. But drilling down into the data, for those students identified as either male or female, 65% said they had access to a bathroom matching their gender identity. How many of your teachers connect what you are learning to life outside the classroom?Many students often complain that what they’re learning in school feels irrelevant to their lives and careers. In response, the city has ramped up its focus on career education. Students see room for improvement. Less than half — 49%— said most or all of their teachers connect what they’re learning to life outside the classroom. The answers vary by grade, with the fewest favorable responses in ninth grade (45%). But by senior year, more students — 59% — responded favorably to this question. How often do you use strategies you learned at school to stay focused when something frustrating happens?Schools across the city have been trying to incorporate more mindfulness practices, with former Mayor Eric Adams bringing daily breathing exercises to students. But when it comes to learning coping mechanisms, students say schools still have work to do. Just 45% said they use strategies learned at school to stay focused in the face of frustration. Asian American girls had fewer favorable responses (37%) compared to their Black male counterparts (51%). How often do you feel included in school activities like clubs, sports, recess, field trips, and school events?While the 2025 survey asked students whether they felt like they belonged at their school, the redesigned survey took things a step further, asking students specifically about their experiences in school activities outside the classroom.About 10% of students surveyed reported they “never” feel included in these activities, and another 30% reported feeling included “sometimes.” Girls reported feeling excluded more often than boys, with 43% reporting they sometimes or never felt included compared to 38% of boys. Broken down by grade, ninth graders (45%) reported feeling excluded most often , while sixth graders (35%) felt excluded least frequently. Amy Zimmer is the bureau chief for Chalkbeat New York.

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Navy awarded Raytheon a $22.9 billion, multi-year contract to accelerate production of Tomahawk cruise missiles, aiming to build more than 1,000 of the long-range strike weapons a year. The Department of War announced the award Monday as part of its "Arsenal of Freedom" initiative to expand weapons production. "This landmark $22.9 billion investment will accelerate Tomahawk missile delivery to our warfighters at unprecedented speed," said Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao. Raytheon, an RTX business, said the contract supports increasing annual output to more than 1,000 Tomahawks and that it is investing in its workforce, supply chain and facilities to meet demand. "Tomahawk is the Navy's most important strike weapon, able to target hostile forces hundreds of miles away without ever risking the lives of our sailors," Raytheon President Phil Jasper said. The contract comes as the U.S. works to rebuild a depleted arsenal. American forces have expended about a third of the nation's Tomahawk inventory, the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimated in a July analysis, including at least 135 fired during the campaign against Yemen's Houthis and 24 during the Twelve Day War with Iran. The Navy's own budget documents show how sharply spending is climbing. The department's fiscal 2027 request seeks 785 Tomahawks for $5.88 billion, about $7.5 million per missile, up from 55 missiles the year before, and the budget says the Pentagon will "leverage the Tomahawk Multi-Year Procurement contract that the Department will initiate in FY 2026" to lower unit costs and speed delivery. But more money will not quickly yield more missiles, according to a July report by the Project On Government Oversight. The watchdog group estimated current Tomahawk production at about 60 missiles a year and said the weapon takes 47 months to deliver once a contract is signed, with manufacturing capacity, not funding, as the binding constraint. POGO found the Tomahawk to be the military's most depleted munition, with recent strikes consuming far more than the U.S. had produced in recent years. The department publicized the $22.9 billion award through news releases from the Department of War and Raytheon, but the contract does not appear on the department's daily list of contracts, where the government itemizes major awards and the funding obligated to them. The award is part of a broader Department of War effort to expand munitions production under what it calls its Acquisition Transformation Strategy. The Center Square previously reported that the department signed framework agreements with Northrop Grumman in August to expand production of PAC-3 and THAAD missile-defense interceptors, deals that fed much larger prime contracts. "The Department called upon industry to expand munitions production, and RTX has answered that call," said Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael P. Duffey.
