New school year promises new improvements for local students
Summer has come and gone as children all over the borough are gearing for another school year. As students are both excited and nervous for their next step, this year, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and New York City Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña have kicked off new programs that promise to improve all New York City schools.
Among these is Pre-K for All, the largest expansion of pre-kindergarten of any city in the nation’s history. A total of 51,500 children are now registered to attend full-day, pre-K, more than double the 20,000 children who attended those programs last year.
“We are building a new and better foundation for our children and our city. This is a monumental moment in the lives of tens of thousands of children and their families” said de Blasio. “We fought and we pushed so hard because we believed our families could not and should not wait.”
