Mayor Eric Adams has announced a reversal of nearly $170 million in budget cuts to the New York City Department of Education, specifically aimed at enhancing early childhood education. The funds will support expanding the free preschool program for 3-year-olds (3-K) and special education in universal pre-K. Emphasizing the importance of investing in children's futures, Adams aims to alleviate the burden on parents balancing work and childcare. This decision follows previous commitments to hire more teachers and addresses calls from City Council for increased funding.
I'm glad the mayor is restoring the cuts that he made. If I take $100 from you, I don't get to tell people I just gifted you with $100 because I'm just returning the $100.
To truly make New York City the best place to raise a family, we know we must invest in our children's future, and today, we're making bold investments in early childhood education.
