The budget agreement hammered out between Mayor Adams and the City Council resulted in an unexpected boost to education spending, but next year the city's education department will face a steep fiscal cliff.
The total adopted education department budget is roughly $31.5 billion, compared to an estimated $31.4 billion spent last year.“We took a step forward with this budget to restore funding for certain programs,” Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said last week.
“There is much more work to do but we appreciate the restoration of key programs that will allow students to continue receiving mental health services and for immigrant families to get information about their children’s schools at a time of growing need,” said Randi Levine, policy director at Advocates for Children of New York, which lobbied intensely for those programs.
According to the May report from the state comptroller, federal stimulus funding for local education programs include $92 million set aside for 3-K expansion, $176 million for Summer Rising and $85 million for mental health programs. Even dyslexia screening, which the mayor, who is dyslexic, has touted as one of his top priorities, uses federal funding.
