The City of New York is facing a severe budget crisis due to unfettered spending and an exodus of tax dollars and residents. This has led to the closure of several educational institutions, including the College of Saint Rose and a NYC-funded program to reverse enrollment losses in the public university system. Learning loss resulting from Covid-19 school closures has left millions of students unprepared for graduation, with advocates calling for a major investment in teachers and buildings to meet new class size limits. Chronic absenteeism and structural budget deficits are also plaguing public schools in DC and Houston, respectively.
