A spokesperson for the mayor’s office confirmed that a deal had not been reached but did not provide comment on why the negotiations had stalled. Speaking on the Brian Lehrer Show Friday morning, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams said the education department did not provide the City Council with accurate information as the budget was being negotiated about what the cuts to school budgets would entail -- which are based on declining enrollment at city schools
Parents and educators have interrupted the mayor’s public appearances over the past two weeks, chanting “restore the cuts” and urging him to use some of the city’s remaining federal stimulus money to bring budgets back up to the past year’s level.Parents and teachers have also filed a lawsuit requesting a temporary restraining order on the cuts.
