More than 200 kids are still waiting for special ed pre-K seats
While their peers attend universal pre-K programs across the city, many children with special needs are still waiting for seats.
New York City is in need of more than 400 special education preschool seats as of May 29, according to a recently re-released New York State Education Department memo.
While the city’s newest budget agreement allots for an additional 200 seats in September, the coming closures of two programs will cancel out more than 100 of those seats.
