A bill awaiting the governor's signature would reduce class size.New York City and state officials urged Gov. Kathy Hochul to sign a bill on Wednesday that would shrink class sizes in the city’s public schools, pressing the governor to act on legislation that many teachers and families have long advocated for.
The fight has pitted proponents of smaller class sizes — deeming it a pivotal step toward better educational outcomes — against a slate of officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, who say the cost of reducing class sizes will necessitate education cuts elsewhere and outweigh any potential benefits. But the cost argument has struck a nerve with parents and lawmakers alike, given recent boosts in funding from both the federal and state governments.
“Those of us who work up in Albany and down in Washington D.C. did our jobs,” said state Sen. Jessica Ramos in a rally outside of City Hall. “We delivered the money. We delivered the money — every damn dime — for our schools to have everything that they need.”
