NYC Mayor Reverses Some Education Budget Cuts in Third Fiscal Reversal This Week

Despite restored funding for summer and community school programs, significant cuts remain amid projected $7 billion deficit next fiscal year.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has reversed some of the education budget cuts he previously announced, restoring funding for a summer program and community schools.
This is the third time in three days that Adams has walked back on budget cuts, previously restoring funds to the sanitation, parks, NYPD and FDNY departments.
Despite the restored funding, around $500 million in cuts to the education budget remain in place.
Adams has faced criticism for his deep budget cuts, with some arguing that he is underestimating revenues and overestimating the deficit.
Adams maintains that the city faces a projected $7 billion deficit next fiscal year, and warns that the city is not out of the woods yet.
