Mayor Eric Adams confirmed that City Hall is in negotiations with Gov. Kathy Hochul regarding a costly class-size reduction bill passed by the state Legislature.
In the aftermath of the “Campaign for Fiscal Equity” lawsuit, DOE officials submitted an interim plan including preliminary class size targets to the New York State Education Department.
And while he supported the administration first lowering class sizes where instruction is suffering the most, he said the DOE could take the phase-in period to start planning for all overcrowded classrooms. “Even if kids are overall doing well in a class of 35, I have no doubt they would do even better if their classes were limited to 25,” he added. “The intent is that the DOE should set up a second section of that class.”
