NYC PUBLIC ADVOCATE RESPONDS TO COURT DECISION IN LAWSUIT OVER EDUCATION BUDGET CUTS

 

"Today’s ruling found that advocates, educators, students, and parents were correct – the administration acted outside of its authority and responsibility in an effort to push through cuts to education funding. Unfortunately, it also helps to make that effort successful, reinstating the FY2023 budget that strips critical resources from our public school students.


"I urge the Council and administration to use the imminent budget modification to restore funding, rather than deepening the damage through further reductions. We have a moral and governing responsibility to strengthen the systems New Yorkers rely on, and shortchanging our schools will only harm students in the immediate moment and lead to further exodus from what should be the best education system in the country."
