This school year will, for the first time, see every local school district adopt new elementary literacy curriculums under the city's mandate - the signature education initiative of schools Chancellor David Banks.
The curriculum overhaul came as Banks sought to improve the city's literacy rates, though already some school communities have pushed back on the mandate, and at least one school won a waiver out of it.
Elementary school teachers and students will continue to adjust to the city's literacy curriculum mandate...The lingering effects of recent school years will also be felt this year.
Tensions fueled by the Israel-Hamas war could persist in school communities this year, suggesting that students will face a politically charged environment.
