Class Size & Proposed Changes to Enrollment
Albany passed a law to reduce class sizes in all New York City classrooms by September of 2028. The state is providing New York City with $1.6 billion in new, recurring funding to help make it happen. But the DOE is now doing all it can to avoid implementing the law.
The law makes the New York City Department of Education responsible for building more classroom seats in congested neighborhoods, so no child is pushed out of their chosen school.
