The New York City Council on Tuesday passed a resolution calling on the mayor and schools chancellor to immediately reverse the Department of Education's cuts to school budgets.
"We are strongly calling on the mayor to do the right thing," Councilmember Lincoln Restler said."Without his intervention, we are going to see larger class sizes on Thursday, fewer music and art teachers ... Essential cuts to our schools that we simply cannot afford."
"We also have to acknowledge why we're in the position that we're in. It's because of a drop-off in student enrollment, and that drop-off didn't just start in the pandemic," Councilmember Joseph Borelli said."Consider that people that do leave the public school system are still our constituents, and I would hope that we would begin looking at other alternatives, such as tuition tax credits, vouchers and the expansion of the charter cap.
