capping the number of students allowed in each classroom depending on grade. Sponsored by New York State Assembly Member Manny De Los Santos, MSW , the schools chancellor would work in tandem with teacher and principal unions.
“Based on my decade of experience as a school social worker, I know that capping the size of classes in city schools will be transformative in improving academic performance for students who need it most,” stated De Los Santos. “My legislation would ensure that the New York City School District is making meaningful progress towards that goal.”
“New York City’s public school community can thank the leadership of the New York State Legislature, as well as NYC Education Chair State Senator John Liu and Assembly Education Committee Chair Michael Benedetto, and Member of the Assembly Education Committee Manny De Los Santos, lead champions of this legislation, who have heard the call of parents who have been demanding reasonable class sizes for our city’s children,” stated Mulgrew.
Leonie Haimson, executive director of Class Size Matter, stated that this legislation would help students of color the most since they make up the majority of New York City public school students.
