Department of Education officials are implementing the Class Size Reduction Plan, which mandates all city public schools to reduce their class sizes to no more than 20 students in grades K-3, 23 students in grades 4-8, and 25 students in high school over the next five years.
Leonie Haimson, founder of Class Size Matters, criticizes the plan, stating it only allocates $137 million for hiring teachers, insufficient to meet the required staff numbers over the next few years.
