New York City officials are currently under scrutiny for their plan to comply with a recently enacted State law aimed at reducing class sizes in public schools, emphasizing that #ClassSizeMatters. The law, which has been championed by education advocates and supported by years of advocacy, seeks to improve educational outcomes by ensuring smaller class sizes. Despite its enactment, there has been concern over the city's commitment to funding the necessary changes. The NYC Council held an oversight hearing to address these concerns, demanding a progress report on the implementation of the law. Education Chair CM Rita Joseph, alongside other council members and education advocates, emphasized the importance of investing in students to comply with the Class Size Law.
I joined @CMRitaJoseph, @UFT, and education advocates to make it loud and clear that this Administration must invest in our students and comply with the Class Size Law. The Class Size Working Group has laid out the recommendations - all we need is for this Administration to act! https://t.co/5FFeJoJmwa

We need to put our money where our laws are, because #ClassSizeMatters. Thanks to years of advocacy, NYS passed a law to reduce class size and improve educational outcomes. The law has been enacted, but the city hasn't put the money into ensuring we can comply moving forward. https://t.co/sRfxD100Hc
