New York City public schools are facing larger enrollment-based cuts this summer compared to what Adams administration officials originally announced in February — and more than what was outlined in the city budget that passed last month.
Department of eduction officials said enrollment-based cuts to school funding will be larger than originally announcedDepartment of eduction officials said enrollment-based cuts to school funding will be larger than originally announced
The education department has not said what the new total for enrollment-based cuts is, nor has it offered an updated enrollment projection for the fall. The revised numbers were not in the final budget that the City Council passed in June because the additional money cut from individual schools will be redistributed within the school system.
The cuts have spurred outrage from parents, and have led to squabbling between the City Council and the administration. Council members say the administration was not transparent about its plans as they negotiated a final budget agreement this spring, while administration officials say Council members failed to ask the right questions before voting the agreement into place.
Banks said he understands the anxiety many parents feel. “No school wants to lose money,” he said. But he said teachers won’t be losing their jobs; they will be rehired for vacant positions elsewhere. “That's what we refer to as rightsizing,” he said.
