Mayor Eric Adams’ administration is imposing mid-year budget cuts to public schools with declining student enrollment, officials confirmed Wednesday.
Eric Adams wins: Data prove ‘tough love’ works amid NYC migrant crisisThe city Department of Education used federal COVID-19 stimulus funds in the prior three academic years to hold schools with plummeting enrollment “harmless” — maintaining the level of spending despite having fewer students.
Of those, 410 of the schools with estimated lower enrollment are receiving “non-recurring hold harmless funds” totaling $135 million or $329,509 per school, the comptroller’s analysis found. “This policy ensures schools’ funding continues to track with the number of students in seats and their needs,” the City Hall rep said.City Hall said decisions on spending reductions will be made by principals at the school level and insisted there will be “no excessing” or elimination of teachers, and that the DOE will continue to support schools as they “right size” school budgets.
