2.
The city budget deal was announced. It included more funding for social
workers and Title 9 coordinators; it did not include dedicated funding
for class size reduction, an increase in fair student funding, or pay
parity for preK teachers - though the Council said the Mayor agreed to
reach an agreement on the latter by the end of the summer. More details here as to what the deal means -- and doesn't mean -- for our public schools.
Regardless
of the fact that our elected leaders did not agree to do one of the
very few things we know for sure would help NYC kids succeed by
providing them with smaller classes, you can count on us to press
forward.
Support us in this battle for our children's right to an equitable chance to learn - please join us on Wednesday or contribute here.
Thanks as always, Leonie
