NYC education chief calls migrant influx 'godsend' to city's public schools

"For some of the schools, the migrants coming here has been a godsend because we've lost so many other kids... Some schools were being threatened with whether we're going to be able to keep the doors open."

"I push back on a lot of the kind of negative politics that people talk about with migrants... This is a city of immigrants. I mean, that's the uniqueness of New York."

"If you want to see New York City schools at their best, look at how these teachers have responded to the migrant crisis ... So, I don't hear a major cry from schools."

"While some NYC officials have sounded the alarm over the ongoing impact on the city, NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks is taking a different tone."
