Michael Appleton/Mayoral Photography Office time. High schoolers are checking their class schedules and comparing notes with friends. Teachers are putting the final touches on their classroom setups. Our schools are buzzing with activity, the air electric with all the promise a new school year brings.

For months, we worked in close partnership with the New York City Council to ultimately finalize a budget that invested over $600 million to protect these programs for our city’s children and hold school budgets harmless. This ensures that the great initiatives mentioned above will continue for our students and families this school year, along with other impactful programs, such as literacy and dyslexia interventions, arts education, “Civics for All,” computer science education, and more.
