Comptroller Brad Lander, New York City's fiscal watchdog, says that Mayor Eric Adams should reverse school budget cuts and allocate millions more in funding to properly serve more than 5,500 new students seeking asylum.
Comptroller Brad Lander said the city should allocate an additional $34 million in funding for individual schools instructing the asylum seekers who have been bused to New York from the southern border and will need intense academic and social service help.
Lander’s comments followed an announcement from Schools Chancellor David Banks that the city is adding more programs and staff to help the migrant kids. The expanded programming includes bilingual instruction, mental health treatment and access to social workers. DOE spokesman Nathaniel Styer said that schools with significantly increased enrollment already have been allocated additional funding.
