Cowardly Mamdani keeps bankrolling failure in NYC’s schools
New York City’s public schools are in a full-blown enrollment crisis, losing students by the tens of thousands each year — and Mayor Zohran Mamdani has shown no interest in dealing with it.
A new report by the NYC School Construction Authority projects that city schools will lose 153,000 students over the next 10 years.
That means the decline the city has seen recently — with nearly 120,000 students disappearing from public schools since the 2019-20 school year — is set to continue.
Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul has announced that Albany will opt in to the Federal Tax Credit Scholarship program, giving city parents more opportunities to exit public schools.
