Did you actually look into the details of how this was done? More than $1 billion in savings comes through a delay in the state’s mandated cap on class sizes which would require hiring more teachers and administrators.

Last year, the city approved hiring 3,700 more teachers and 100 more assistant principals. He's cutting funding to schools, which will almost certainly disproportionately affect the city's poorest people.

@HakeemG It sounds like THE STATE is doing the cutting.

@VedaDalsette

No, it's his proposed budget.

@HakeemG

Since you provided no specifics for me, I found this.
--Cut $500 million in ed by delaying a state mandate to reduce class sizes in its schools.
--Reduce spending on private tuition for students with disabilities. Reimbursements soared over $1 billion last year and overwhelmingly benefited wealthier families. 71% of students who won private school tuition reimbursements were white even though the demographic group makes up less than 13% of students with disabilities in public schools.

@VedaDalsette

We can separate the scam artists from the schools that need their class sizes reduced, no need to do both.

@HakeemG

I'm convinced now you're a billionaire bot.

@VedaDalsette

Because I don't worship Mamdani or because I tell the truth?
