subject: People Need To Produce Their Schools In New York Significant To Them [print this page] It's often the case that whenever costs begin to get tighter and resources become more valuable, school money is the first to take a hit. Just take New York schools, for instance. Mayor Bloomberg has released extreme knowledge pieces which can be planning to attack the city's schools hard.
At least $324 million in cuts have already been released for the coming school year. Not just that, at the least $100 million in surprise reductions have already been reported this school year. The surprise cut was the unkindest cut of most, no pun intended. A quantity of school principals at Nyc schools all over the city received a circular announcing that times were difficult, and that city agencies would have to take funding cuts. This involved the city's schools.
Reducing Education Capital for Nyc Schools is Quick Sighted
It's not hard to understand the reason behind the cuts, and it's a fact that the City has been struggling to keep a tight control on its funds. But cutting funds to New York schools that can make the city's future residents and leaders isn't the solution. There should be other ways to cover spending and still remain within budget. Cutting funds to New York schools may seem like a quick sighted decision that's bound to have significant repercussions on the city's health in the years to come.
This step by Mayor Bloomberg has prompted a small grouping of parents, educators, worried citizens' education advocacy rights and groups to form the Promises Coalition that is protesting any proposed reductions in money. On the 19th of March 2008, thousands of parents and other members of the Coalition marched in protest against the proposed cuts in money to them.
The cuts are specially difficult to bear, because they result from the seal of several claims had been made by Mayor Bloomberg who to develop a larger number of classes, increase the number of new schools and English courses in New York, and present full time pre kindergarten classes. He had also promised to maintain English Language Learner Services programs in New York universities and had promised to reduce the dimensions of classes. The English Language Learner program isn't a luxury, but a prerequisite in this multicultural city, and yet it seems that this program might be dumped under the assault from funding cuts.
The after schools tutoring program at Ny schools that has been such a advantage to working parents who will not manage to be home when their young ones arrive home from school also looks set to stop getting money. These reductions are anticipated going to those Ny schools that have a high percentage of low income and English language Learner students the hardest. That's hardly a surprise.
