Mayor Adams and the New York City Council agreed on a $101 billion budget they said would cushion the blow of the pandemic on the most vulnerable New Yorkers, but one contentious issue that did not appear to be resolved was the funding of public schools.

The agreement added about $1 billion more than what the mayor proposed in his executive budget. Budget details will be available next week, but one contentious issue that did not appear to be resolved was the funding of public schools. Adams had proposed reducing individual school budgets facing enrollment declines by a total of $215 million. He warned the lower enrollment could result in less federal funding, but said schools would still receive the amount of funding they are entitled to under the city’s fair student funding formula.
“Our schools have endured the hardest two years and need every penny to provide the social, emotional, and academic supports that all our students deserve this summer and fall,” he said. “We should not be forcing schools to implement sharp cuts to their budgets this summer.” In another budget cut that drew attention, the city will no longer add 574 correction officers, the mayor said.
