Catholic School Region Of Manhattan

City-funded organization

Catholic School Region of Manhattan is one of the Archdiocese of New York's geographic administrative regions for its Catholic elementary and high schools, alongside regions such as the Bronx, Staten Island, and Central Westchester (per the Archdiocese's own site, catholicschoolsny.org). It has held $95 million in New York City Department of Education contracts since 2014, entirely tied to Universal Pre-Kindergarten (contracts titled 'UPK - Universal Prekindergarten Services' and 'UPK-BTF'), and has been paid $66 million to date; none of its city contracts are active as of August 2026. Of that contract value, 49% ($47 million across 18 contracts) was awarded without a fresh competitive bid, per Checkbook NYC's award-method tags on those specific contracts, most of them tagged 'Negotiated contract' or 'Renewal (not re-bid)'.
