NYC Mayor Eric Adams highlighted the opening of 24 new schools for the 2024-25 school year, which adds over 11,000 new seats in the city.
Schools Chancellor David Banks emphasized that the city has significantly boosted class space, with a 40% increase in class areas over the last two years.
Adams noted that modern facilities include science labs, music rooms, auditoriums, and libraries, aiming to enhance the educational experience for students.
The classroom law, requiring smaller classes, will necessitate hiring an additional 10,000 to 12,000 teachers to meet the new standards.
