The New York City Department of Education’s budget would shrink by almost $1 billion under the new financial plan proposed by Mayor Eric Adams earlier this week.
Councilmembers claimed they were misled by the mayor’s office and later apologized for approving the spending plan.
In terms of the overall education budget, more than a quarter of the $958,666 in reduced spending is attributed to the decline in federal funding. In response, the administration has already announced plans to scale back expansion plans for the city’s free 3-K program, arguing that it can enroll more 3-year-olds by better distributing available seats.
As part of his executive budget, the mayor announced he wanted to add funding in a few areas, including maintaining the number of coordinators who help students in shelters connect with schools, and to launch a new climate education training program for teachers. But councilmembers have already balked at some of the proposed cuts to education, especially plans to maintain the current number of 3-K slots rather than expand them as planned.
